I'd only summarised the BBC news article, and I didn't quote it in all it's entirety. The news article did also say elsewhere:-
I had taken this to mean that Grey's lawyers thought the unlawful act aspect had not been covered at the trial. However Judge Enright's directions of law given to the jury did seem to go over the unlawful aspect quite a bit, so I'd assume it had been covered: https://www.scribd.com/document/6301563 ... ons-of-Lawhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-68606255 wrote:The court in London heard the 50-year-old was charged with unlawful act manslaughter - which requires an unlawful action to take place that caused death.
Grey's lawyers told appeal judges that no such action was considered by the jury at the trial.
Noting TC's and Jdsk posts above, I may be completely off the mark (or missing the subtleties) as to what the appeal is about.
