THEFT ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1969 - SECT 3

""Appropriates''.

3.(1) Any assumption by a person of the rights of an owner amounts to an
appropriation, and this includes, where he has come by the property
(innocently or not) without stealing it, any later assumption of a right to it
by keeping or dealing with it as owner.

(2) Where property or a right or interest in property is or purports to be
transferred for value to a person acting in good faith, no later assumption by
him of rights which he believed himself to be acquiring shall, by reason of
any defect in the transferor's title, amount to theft of the property.
