[2009] EWCA Crim 2856

A conviction for assault occasioning actual bodily harm was safe even though the victim's account had been shown to be false in part, as there was incontrovertible evidence independent of the victim's evidence, and the judge had been right to leave the case to the jury. No guidance could be obtained from other cases where it had, or had not, been proper to withdraw a case.
