[2013] EWCA Crim 2230

A judge presiding over the trial of an offence of attempted murder had been right not to exclude a covertly-obtained recording of an incriminating conversation between two of the defendants. Although the circumstances in which the recording had been obtained exceeded the authority granted under the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, its admission did not adversely affect the fairness of the trial.
