[2011] EWCA Crim 365
A conviction for possession of a false identity document under the Identity Cards Act 2006 s.25(1)(a) was quashed where a defendant had not been advised of the availability of a defence under the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999 s.31 and such a defence would very probably have succeeded.
