[2004] EWCA Crim 2100

Where appellants had received advice from their solicitors not to answer questions, it was the genuineness of the decision that was relevant, not its quality. A jury had to consider whether an accused had remained silent, not because of the advice but because he had no, or no satisfactory, explanation to give.
