State of Trinidad and Tobago v Persad [2007] UKPC 51, [2007] All ER (D) 375 (Jul)
The exception to the rule that out-of-court statements made by one defendant are inadmissible against a co-defendant—established by R v Hayter [2005] UKHL 6, [2005] 2 All ER 209—applies only in cases where the defendants are being tried for a joint offence for which they were jointly liable.
