The word "The" as in "The Case" doesn't seem to be part of a commonly used proper noun. Shouldn't the title of the article be renamed "Case of the Dean of St Asaph" instead?

(after a conflict of edits) FWIW, even bearing in mind that "otherstuffexists" isn't a great argument, the learned Mr Ironholds himself/yourself penned the excellent article that is presently entitled Case of the Hooded Man and one might have thought that similar cases should indeed be treated similarly, both in terms of the presence or absence of an opening definitive article and, perhaps also, the existence or otherwise of titular italics.

Sure, but the distinction is that the Case of the Hooded Man was referred to as such in text - not as The Case of the Hooded Man, which is how R v Shipley tends to be written.
