Has the Fraud Act 1968 made the Theft Act 1968 completely redundant?

2026

These last two weeks we have been looking at Theft/Offences of dishonesty in criminal law. I have missed out a lot, and need to catch up but I just wanted to know whether the Theft Act of 1968 still has any relevance now that the Fraud Act 2006 has been enacted?

I am vaguely familiar with the three categories of fraud as set in the Fraud Act 2006, but what are the main changes that have been introduced with this new piece of legislation

You are kidding me? Honestly? The Theft Act covers far more than fraud. Also, it's relatively easy to find out if the Fraud Act amends/repeals any or all of the Theft Act by reading it!
