[2004] UKPC 25

Evidence prejudicial to the defence and of no probative value that had inadvertently been disclosed at the appellant's trial had resulted in unfairness to the appellant and it was doubtful, given the importance of his good character to his defence, that any directions could have overcome that unfairness.

PC (BVI) (Lord Nicholls of Birkenhead, Lord Hope of Craighead, Lord Rodger of Earlsferry, Sir Swinton Thomas, Dame Sian Elias)
