Interesting; as a JP (now retired) the case which had the greatest impact on my work as a magistrate was R v Newton (1983), which introduced the concept of the 'Newton' hearing. I should think it also has affected the greatest number of persons appearing in court. I would guess that in some magistrates court at this very moment such a hearing is being conducted.
