Episode Synopsis

What happens when a series of criminal offences are committed over a period when a new piece of legislation comes into force? Do they fall under the new rules or the old ones? The job of the Supreme Court was made especially difficult in this case by the legislation itself not being especially clear and so how they interpreted the law is scrutinised and analysed in this episode.
