Details

This timely and pertinent collection looks at the variety of questions involved in the operation of Commissions of Inquiry (CoIs). Traditionally existing as pure fact-finding bodies, in recent times COIs have move to providing some form of legal adjudication.

This shift in their application merits scrutiny and this edited collection looks at the institutional and procedural aspects of COIs.

Essay topics range from the Chilcot Inquiry to the procedural fairness. Drawing on the expertise of leading scholars in the field, it offers an insightful and critical analysis of COIs.
