[2009] EWCA Crim 150
It was important that those representing defendants on the merits of an appeal against conviction stood back and took a robust view of the case, subjecting their perceived grounds to rigorous analysis, and arguing against themselves to satisfy themselves that the grounds were properly arguable. That was particularly so when the focus of the appeal was about alleged omissions and errors in the summing up.
