[2004] EWCA Crim 3365

Whilst the judge had misdirected the jury, it was not a material misdirection that rendered the conviction of the appellant, charged with gross negligence manslaughter and reckless arson, unsafe. There had been no need for recourse to gross negligence manslaughter as it had been a clear case of unlawful act manslaughter.
