Core Statutes on Evidence 2018–19
Synopsis
The law of evidence is primarily statute based, so it is hoped that this book will be of considerable assistance to both students and litigation practitioners alike. As well as the key statutes on evidence, this book also covers the provisions relating to police powers under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 which, though not actually falling within the rules of evidence, are included as breach of such provisions may lead to the exclusion of evidence. Codes C and D of the Codes of Practice are also included for the same reason. Also included is the latest version of the Criminal Procedure Rules which, like the Civil Procedure Rules, supplement the relevant legislation.Although most evidence syllabi concentrate on the rules of criminal evidence, there is nonetheless a significant body of civil evidence. For the benefit of practitioners and those students whose evidence syllabus extends to civil evidence, the main civil evidence statutes and the latest version of the Civil Procedure Rules are also extracted here.
This book expresses the law as at June 2018.
