[2002] EWCA Crim 215

A fair trial did not necessarily entail representation by Queen's Counsel merely because the Crown was represented by Queen's Counsel. Given the cap on the sentencing power of a judge on a retrial, a sentence that the Attorney-General considered to be unduly lenient should be referred to the Court of Appeal following the offender's original conviction.
