(a) the person entitled to consent to the damage to the property concerned had so consented; or

(i) the person whom the defendant believed was entitled to consent to the damage of the property concerned had so consented; or

(ii) such a person would have so consented if that person had known about the damage to be caused to the property and its circumstances.
