[2008] EWCA Crim 1863

Evidence in relation to a count on an indictment was capable of being admitted as bad character evidence in relation to any other count if it met the criteria set out in the Criminal Justice Act 2003 s.101(1). In the first appeal the trial judge was correct to refuse to sever the counts on the indictment and, in relation to the second appeal, the evidence on one count was admissible in relation to the other as the evidence made it more likely that the appellant had committed the offence.
