R v Borkan (2004) EWCA Crim 1642

From Mental Health Law Online

Jump to: navigation, search

The judge was right not to adjourn for a psychiatric report on fitness to plead and stand trial, as he had two reports already stating that the defendant was not unfit; a jury could not determine fitness to plead or stand trial without supporting medical evidence, and on the facts there was none; appeal dismissed.
