Details

A practical guide to the conduct of criminal cases in Scotland.

  • Centred around The Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995, as amended
  • Covers procedure in the general order in which steps occur in prosecutions
  • Deals with solemn and summary procedure together as far as possible
  • Addresses matters of evidence as they become relevant to the topics being dealt with

Sheriff Alastair Brown draws on his extensive experience in practice to present a clear and up-to date overview of the subject, taking into account updates relating to the law of arrest, the treatment of vulnerable witnesses, the sentencing powers for non-harassment orders and the First Diet procedure. Whether you're a student of Scots Law coming to criminal evidence and procedure as part of your LLB law degree or as part of your Diploma in Professional Legal Practice, or a practitioner needing a quick reference guide, this textbook covers all of the essentials.
