[2002] EWCA Crim 1900

While the Court of Appeal would be cautious about accepting expert opinions with regard to an appellant's fitness to plead that were formed long after the event and which were contrary to expert opinion of the time, the court could only act on the evidence presented before it. If that evidence were persuasive, it had to be accepted.
