[2007] EWHC 2154 (Admin)

The provisions of Part 11 of Code C of the PACE codes of conduct were not directed at what a suspect was alleged to have said as part of his conduct constituting the offence. There was no basis as a matter of interpretation for extending para.11.13 beyond its confines of protecting a suspect against fabrication by a police officer of self-incriminatory statements after the alleged commission of the offence.
