[2008] UKPC 56

When ruling on a submission of no case to answer to a charge of murder, the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal had erred by failing to apply the test of determining what inferences a reasonable jury properly directed might draw, as distinct from those which the court itself thought could or could not be drawn.

PC (BVI) (Lord Hoffmann, Lord Hope of Craighead, Baroness Hale of Richmond, Lord Carswell, Lord Neuberger of Abbotsbury)
