Active Defence: Solicitor's Guide to Police and Defence Investigation and Prosecution and Defence Disclosure in Criminal Cases - Hardcover
Synopsis
This guide to the disclosure provisions of the Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 and police, forensic and defence investigation is essential for defence lawyers. It explains how they can manage restrictions on the disclosure of unused material, and deal with the requirement to give a written defence disclosure statement. The book shows solicitors how to practise 'active defence' - systematically taking the prosecution case apart to expose its weaknesses and investigating the case for the defence. It also contains the Code of Practice under Part II of CPIA 1996, the main disclosure rules and other useful reference material including a forensic glossary. This new completely revised edition reflects the practical experience gained by lawyers since the Act's introduction and recommends a new approach to drafting the defence statement. It includes the new rules on third party disclosure and the changes resulting from the new Narey provisions. Practical advice on investigating the scene has also been greatly expanded.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
