[2013] EWHC 4365 (Admin)

The purpose of a Newton hearing was to resolve substantial conflict as to facts which might affect sentence. Therefore, where a defendant had admitted certain facts and pleaded guilty to an alternative offence, there was no need at a Newton hearing for the court to make a finding in relation to the undisputed facts or to address the question of the defendant's admitted guilt.
