[2011] EWCA Crim 2842

In the absence of special arrangements particular to the court or the case, surrender to the Crown Court would be accomplished when the defendant presented himself to the custody officers by entering the dock or where a hearing before the judge commenced at which he was formally identified as present; reporting to the usher did not amount to surrender.
