[2007] EWHC 363 (Admin)

Magistrates had been entitled to use their discretion to receive further evidence to remedy a deficiency in the prosecution case, notwithstanding the fact that they had already retired, returned to the court room and had been part way through giving their decision, as the most important issue was whether justice could be done.
