[2006] EWCA Crim 3235

Although the defendant had been deprived of the opportunity to consent to being tried summarily or to opt for trial by jury in accordance with the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 Sch.3 para.7, his conviction was safe as there had been no prejudice to his case and the outcome would have been the same in any event.
