[2007] EWCA Crim 2016

In change of law cases it was not open to the Criminal Cases Review Commission lawfully to apply a policy that it was under no obligation to have regard to the practice of the Court of Appeal Criminal Division and accordingly just as the court would not normally extend time in such cases, a conviction should not normally be referred on the basis of a change of law.
