The court dismissed the appeal, ruling that the unit of resolution and criminal design are incompatible with both continued crimes and the concurrence of real crimes. The judgment emphasizes that the core of the unit remains intact regardless of the number of acts involved. Furthermore, the court established that intent is indispensable for conviction in cheque fraud, explicitly excluding negligence as a valid basis for this offense.
