[2001] UKHL 39

Where there was no reason to question what appeared on the face of a warrant for arrest, a constable enforcing that warrant had no obligation to question it and was not to be regarded as acting unlawfully in complying with its terms even where the warrant was mistakenly issued in the wrong name.
