[2008] EWCA Crim 3

A statement by a woman that she had a loving and devoted relationship with a man was not to be adjudged a lie merely because she also had a sexual relationship with another man. If such a statement contained a lie at all, it was a comparatively insignificant lie which was not a matter about which questions should be permitted under the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999 s.41.
