[2004] EWCA Crim 540

Where there were nine counts of indecent assault by a doctor on women patients the counts were properly joined and there was no reason for the judge to sever. However, the judge failed to correctly direct the jury on the mutual supportability of evidence between groups of offences and the convictions involving improper touching and touching patient's breasts were unsafe.
