​KembaraXtra-Case Law- Naviede (1997) CA
I. Core Issue:
  • Whether credit fraud constitutes obtaining services by deception.
  • Relates to obtaining credit facilities from two banks.
II. Relevance to Previous Cases:
  • Another Preddy appeal case.
  • Connects to Halai, Graham, Cooke, and Cumming-John (1997).
III. Halai Distinction:
  • Halai established that a mortgage advance for private residence typically does not amount to a service.
    • Key point: Benefit not conferred.
  • Naviede clarifies Halai does not mean no mortgage advance ever constitutes a service.
    • Emphasis on specific circumstances and terms of the advance.
IV. Application to Revolving Credit:
  • Naviede involved revolving credit, not a traditional mortgage.
  • Despite the difference, the same authorities apply.
V. Non-Per Curiam Status:
  • Decisions in Graham, Cooke, and Cumming-John (1997) were not per curiam (not delivered by the whole court).
  • Implication: Potentially less precedential weight.
VI. Key Takeaways:
  • The provision of a credit facility can be a service.
  • Circumstances of the credit arrangement are vital to determine if a service has occurred.
  • Halai is limited to specific contexts of mortgage advances for private residences.
