[2008] EWCA Crim 314

Where the Crown wished to rely, pursuant to the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s.101(1)(d), on previous convictions as evidence of a person's propensity to violence, it was good practice for details of the convictions to be made available, but full details were not required in every case. A mere list of convictions was sufficient for the purposes of s.101(1)(g) of the Act because what was relevant was "character" in a broad general sense.
