Prosecution's stated reason for DNAA—need to reassess evidence arising from defence material—was insufficient and unreasonable in the circumstances, no timeframe or assurance of reprosecution was provided, and it would be unfair to leave charges hanging; accordingly the court exercised its discretion under s254(3) CPC to order discharge and acquittal (A&D).
