Newton hearing

A Newton hearing or inquiry is a comparatively modern legal procedure in English law, used where the two sides offer such conflicting evidence that a judge sitting alone (that is, without a jury) tries to ascertain which party is telling the truth.〔(Explanation of term )〕 They are generally used when a defendant pleads guilty to an offence (as in R v Newton itself), but there are factual issues (relating, for example, to the appropriate sentence) that need to be resolved between the prosecution and defence.
==Origin==
The name stems from a 1983 case R v Newton in which the defendant admitted buggery but claimed his wife had given her consent.〔"Legal Competence in Environmental Health" Moran,T: London, E &FN Spon, 1997 ISBN 0-419-23000-9〕 The Court of Appeal ruled that in such cases there were three ways of resolving the issue. It may be possible to obtain the answer from a Jury by directing them to consider whether there is the necessary intent for a specific offence or whether a lesser offence which does not require intent is made out. If that is not possible then ''either''
*evidence could be heard from both sides and a conclusion reached on the matter which was the root of the problem, ''or''
* no evidence heard but submissions analysed and, where a substantial doubt still persisted, benefit be given to the defendant.
