[2002] EWCA Crim 892

Where a trial judge had plainly stated that a co-accused should be joined to an indictment, that was an order for the amendment of the indictment. Nothing done or failed to be done by a court clerk could subsequently alter the effect of, or render nugatory, that which a judge had ordered.
