The law of evidence is a fascinating subject that encompasses logic, common sense, philosophy and tactics. This book explains the fundamentals of the law and looks at the principles behind it in a clear and succinct manner. Including helpful examples and case study material, this text is for undergraduates approaching the subject for the first time. This new edition has been extensively updated throughout to include the most up-to-date developments in the field, in particular changes since the Human Rights Act came into force.
