Building on The Decade of Disclosure In Criminal Procedure (Hardcover)

This volume describes, analyses and criticises the law and practice pertaining to the disclosure of used and unused information in criminal proceedings in England. It makes suggestions for reform and makes comparison with the situation in Canada and other Commonwealth jurisdictions. The book defines and considers the law and practice of pre-trial disclosure of evidence in England in a manner which should provide a useful source of reference for practitioners, academics and senior law students. It informs the discussion by integrating recent evidence of malpractice, analyses the new information, and charts the likely course ahead, based on past experience. The book also aims to avoid being constrained by conservative or traditional views, or a need for polite commentary, and proposes a way forward for criminal procedure
