Court of Appeal (Criminal Division)
“When calculating the benefit to a thief or handler of his acquisition or possession of criminal property, the market value of it was the amount it would have cost him to obtain the property legitimately, or the economic value to the loser, rather than what the thief or handler could get for the property if he sold it.”
