| Summary: | It is ironic that Abdullah bin A Rahman v PP and Lim Choon Chye v PP were decided in the aftermath of the Birmingham Six, Guildford Four and Maguire Seven cases from the United Kingdom.

The purpose of this case note is to set out the conclusions reached by the Court of Appeal and to suggest directions for the future. |
