Criminal Disclosure Referencer provides practitioners with a user-friendly guide to the law and guidance relating to the disclosure of unused material.

This text follows the disclosure process chronologically, drawing together all the relevant legislation, codes, guidelines, rules, protocols, and case law in a comprehensive manner.
