[2008] EWCA Crim 688

A defendant's failure to mention a number of facts before giving evidence at trial had not been capable of founding an adverse inference as they had not been in dispute, and therefore the jury should not have been given a direction under the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 s.34.
