R v JOSEPH ALEXANDER SMITH (2013)

[2013] EWCA Crim 11

An offence under the Public Order Act 1986 s.4(1) had been improperly added to an indictment that included charges of threatening to kill and affray but the defendant, who pleaded guilty in the Crown Court to the s.4(1) offence, was not unfairly prejudiced by that procedural error and his conviction was safe.
