Synopsis

The text develops the readers' understanding of the law of evidence in both a practical and an academic way by examining and analysing the law in the context of the adversarial and managed systems of criminal and civil justice. This book takes a different approach by formally recognising the operation of the different evidential principles between criminal and civil cases; including a detailed section on the law of civil evidence; recognising that the study of evidence should reflect the practical context in which the rules operate; anticipating important proposed legislative changes in the law of evidence and by recognising the impact of the implementation of the Human Rights Act 1998 on the law of evidence.

A propos du livre

À propos de la quatrième de couverture

This comprehensive textbook is a major new introduction to the law of both criminal and civil evidence. It develops readers' understanding of the contemporary law of evidence in both a practical and an academic way by examining and analysing the law in the context of the adversarial and managed systems of criminal and civil justice. The authors present the subject in an accessible and clear style that clarifies this difficult subject for both the student reader encountering the law of evidence for the first time and for those who need to build on or refresh their existing knowledge. The new approach of this book:

• Examines the operation of the rules of civil and criminal evidence separately, giving a clearer and fuller understanding of the different applications of the two systems of rules;
• Examines the operation of the rules of civil and criminal evidence in their procedural and practical context, enabling a clearer understanding of the purpose and application of the law of evidence in the adversarial and managed systems of fact adjudication;
• Recognises the academic foundation of the law of evidence whilst putting the operation of the law in its practical context, enabling the reader to understand the operation of the rules of evidence in the context of case analysis and preparation; pre-trial procedures as well as the operation of the evidential rules at both a civil and a criminal trial;
• Recognizes the dynamic nature of the modern law of English evidence by examining the likely impact of important proposed legislative changes to the law of evidence, including the Human Rights Act 1998.
