[2004] EWCA Crim 1103

The appellant's conviction for causing grievous bodily harm contrary to the Offences against the Person Act 1861 s.20 was quashed and a re-trial ordered as the trial judge had been wrong to withdraw from the jury the issue of whether the complainants had consented to sexual intercourse with the appellant knowing that he was HIV positive.
