“Where defendants had been convicted of criminal offences under a statute enacted by Parliament which was unenforceable owing to a failure by the United Kingdom Government, before its enactment, to comply with a Directive from the European Community, it was not incumbent upon the Court of Appeal to re-open their cases out of time unless their convictions had given rise to any substantial injustice.”
