[2011] EWCA Crim 583

A conviction for manslaughter was quashed to avoid substantial injustice where there had been a post-conviction change in the law in respect of situations where a person had been involved in the supply of a Class A drug which was then freely and voluntarily self-administered by the person to whom it was supplied causing his or her death.
