[2004] EWCA Crim 1607

There was an obligation on the prosecution to disclose material if it assisted the defence by allowing the defendant to put forward a tenable case in the best possible light, or if the material could assist the defence to make further enquiries that might assist in showing the defendant's innocence or avoid a miscarriage of justice.
