[2009] EWHC 2820 (Admin)

It was not open to a magistrates' court to rely on a statement by a defendant acting in person made to the court's legal adviser, who was assisting the defendant to put his case in a procedure approved by the Criminal Procedure Rules 2005 Pt 37, as such statements were not evidence.
