[2002] EWCA Crim 1881

Where leading counsel had been suffering from a terminal illness during the course of a murder trial, the issue on appeal was not the state of counsel's health but whether the conduct of the defendant's case, for whatever reason, fell below the proper standard so that the defendant did not receive a fair trial.
