DPP v Sheldrake; AG's ref (no. 4 of 2002) [2004]
Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:37 2006
[2004] UKHL 43. Legislative provisions that reverse the BurdenOfProof onto
the defendant in a criminal action are not automatically incompatible
with Art. 6(2) of the ECHR. Regard must be had to the proportionality
of the statutory measure and the magnitude of the penalty it imposes.
See ReverseBurdenOfProof for discussion.
