[2009] EWCA Crim 594

A trial judge had been entitled to make witness anonymity orders in respect of witnesses who had viewed a violent murder in the street outside their homes. Applying the statutory test under the Criminal Evidence (Witness Anonymity) Act 2008 s.11 it was plain that an anonymity order would have been made had the Act been in force at the time.
