Publisher's Synopsis
"Phipson on Evidence" is the leading work on civil and criminal evidence. It examines in detail all aspects of the complex principles and procedures which make up the law of evidence. The foremost authority on this area of law, with an international reputation for excellence, this edition has been written by an author team of unparalleled breadth and depth of experience. This ensures that every area is covered in depth, and that the work can be relied upon to solve even the most complex questions relating to evidence. The new edition has been completely re-written in light of the introduction of the CPR and the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and subsequent legislation in the 5 years since the previous edition was published. The features include: a one-stop source of information - brings the work completely up to date to cover all recent developments in case law and legislation; deals with the fundamental changes to the rules of hearsay and character introduced by the Criminal Justice Act 2003; covers both civil and criminal evidence; and considers the complex mix of rules, principles and practice in a depth that is the envy of its competitors.
