Details

The second edition of this book covers the significant impact that human rights law is having on the development of the criminal law. From the construction of statutory offences which contain potentially reverse onus provisions to the rights of persons affected by the exercise of special powers of investigation, the influence of the developing body of human rights jurisprudence could be felt. Being a common law offence, misconduct in public office enjoys the advantage of having the capacity for organic development through the courts in order to meet the changing needs of our time. New decisions of the courts are handed down daily and as the law of bribery and corruption takes on a more international complexion interesting case law emerges from other jurisdictions.

The law is stated as at 1 November 2009.
