[2013] EWCA Crim 708

A Crown Court judge presiding over a retrial had been wrong to designate a pre-trial hearing as a preparatory hearing, and so the Court of Appeal lacked jurisdiction to hear the defendants' interlocutory appeal against his ruling that the complainant's police interview and cross-examination at the original trial could be admitted as hearsay evidence at the retrial.
