[2013] EWHC 2659 (Admin)

Convictions for falsely describing or presenting food were quashed and remitted to the magistrates' court where each information was duplicitious, alleging offences under both the Food Safety Act 1990 s.15(2) and s.15(3). In obiter comments, the question of whether, in light of the need for a cards on the table approach, a failure to take a duplicity point at the appropriate time prevented it from being taken later was left open.
