That slightly overstates the position. The Court of Appeal very recently observed: '...it remains the constitutional function of this court to determine whether convictions are safe or unsafe. That remains the position even where, as here, the appeals have been carefully considered by the Serious Fraud Office, and counsel instructed by the Serious Fraud Office, and decisions have been taken that the appeals should not be opposed, and that if the convictions are quashed, there will be no retrials.' (Pabon (Alex) & Others [2026] EWCA Crim 1345).
