[2008] EWCA Crim 1450

In light of the decision in R. v K [2008] EWCA Crim 185, [2008] Q.B. 827, a conviction under the Terrorism Act 2000 s.58 for possessing information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism was unsafe as it was not certain that the defendant was convicted on material that fell within s.58. In addition, the judge had been wrong to give a Watson direction.
