[2012] EWCA Crim 2116

A judge had erred in not giving maximum credit for a defendant's guilty plea to reckless arson entered only after receipt of a psychiatric report that said he was fit to plead. Whilst not the first hearing, it had been the first reasonable opportunity for a plea to be entered in the knowledge that he was fit to do so.
