[2010] UKSC 6

Although the Crown's failure to disclose outstanding criminal charges relating to one of its witnesses was incompatible with the accused's rights under the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 art.6(1), there had been no miscarriage of justice as there was no real possibility that the jury would have come to a different verdict if it had been aware of them.
