[2012] EWCA Crim 2144

A recorder's refusal to permit a defendant to a charge of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to adduce evidence of the victim's previous convictions, on the basis that the issue for the jury was not the victim's credibility but the defendant's intention, had not adversely affected the fairness of the trial.
