[2007] UKPC 51

The modification in R. v Hayter (Paul Ali) [2005] UKHL 6, [2005] 1 W.L.R. 605 to the absolute prohibition against the use of out of court admissions as evidence against co-defendants did apply in Trinidad and Tobago, but the circumstances of the instant case fell outside the ambit of the Hayter principle.

PC (Trin) (Lord Bingham of Cornhill, Lord Rodger of Earlsferry, Lord Carswell, Lord Brown of Eaton-under-Heywood, Lord Mance)
