[2008] UKPC 32

The function of prosecuting counsel was to act as a minister of justice, concerned with the fairness of the trial and the presentation of the case. Proper standards of decorum and courtesy should be observed by prosecuting counsel in the conduct of their case, their treatment of witnesses, and the presentation of their addresses to the jury.
