Where an indictment was a nullity by charging an offence of breach of a sex offender order contrary to the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 s.2(8) when no such offence existed at that time, it was impossible to substitute an offence of breach of a sexual offences prevention order contrary to the Sexual Offences Act 2003 on the indictment as its wording precluded any such offence being alleged.
