The Case
In the case of defendants who had been convicted of supplying heroin, and where the prosecution had failed to disclose material to the defence, it was held that the undisclosed information, which was capable of assisting the defendants' case and of undermining the prosecution case, ought to have been disclosed. It followed that the convictions were unsafe and would be quashed.
