Court of Appeal
“It was preferable for crown court judges to direct police officers not to execute a warrant for the arrest except at the crown court, of a witness who had failed to appear in response to a summons, if satisfied that if the witness was going to attend voluntarily or was going to accompany them, or at least to back the warrant for bail.”
