Abstract
Reflects on the ruling in Da Silva v United Kingdom (5878/08) (ECHR (Grand Chamber)) on whether the evidential test for bringing prosecutions was arbitrary and breached ECHR art.2. Reviews the relevant legal framework for the test, suggests why the justifications for its use, including safeguarding defendants' rights, are weak, and considers why the victim's right to review should be regularly revised and the test reworded.
