R v Criminal Injuries Compensation Board (CICB), ex parte A [1999] 2 AC 330
Answer
This case concerned inaccurate evidence about the findings of a medical examination given to the CICB by a policewoman. The medical examination was to determine whether A had suffered the injuries that she claimed as a result of rape. The policewoman's testimony was that the examination suggested that A's claims were probably false, whereas the report of the examination, which was not seen by the Board, was in fact consistent with the injuries that A claimed to have suffered. Although the House of Lords recognised that a mistake of fact could form the basis for a judicial review claim, they in fact decided the case on the alternative basis of a breach of the rules of natural justice (see Chapter 16), so the comments made were obiter only.
