[2006] EWCA Crim 3380

Where a defendant pleaded guilty to an offence of grievous bodily harm under the Offences against the Person Act 1861 s.20 and was convicted of an offence under s.18, there remained a conviction on the guilty plea to the s.20 offence when the s.18 conviction was subsequently quashed. The test was whether, if the defendant had been convicted of the s.20 offence, such a conviction would have been safe on the evidence.
