[2011] EWCA Crim 1259

A conviction for conspiracy to commit wilful misconduct in public office, where a former police officer working in a civilian capacity had passed information to a member of the criminal fraternity, was safe. The judge had not misdirected the jury when directing that the defence of reasonable excuse or justification could be disregarded.
