[2011] EWCA Crim 1496

The Coroners and Justice Act 2009 s.55(6)(c) did not close the circumstances in which provocation could provide mitigation for an offence of murder. It was, however, concerned with the substantive criminal offence of murder, not with the determination of the minimum term where murder had been admitted or proved.
