[2002] EWHC 2486 (Admin)

The warnings scheme established by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 s.65 was not prima facie inconsistent with the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 art.6. However, to be compliant with the Convention, it was important that the offender had been advised of all the consequences of the reprimand or warning and had given his informed consent to the procedure being adopted.
