R v Khan [2008] EWCA Crim 1112, [2008] All ER (D) 298 (May)

Historically, the authorities state that there is an absolute principle that no further evidence should be given after the Judge’s summing-up has been concluded and the jury has retired. However, in recent years this principle has been subject to some relaxation (R v K [2005] EWCA Crim 346, [2005] All ER (D) 227 (Feb) and R v Hallam [2007] EWCA Crim 1495, [2007] All ER (D) 11 (Aug) followed).
