Description
This balanced and comprehensive guide covers false imprisonment and malicious prosecution for which jury trial is conducted, and a range of other actions including malicious process, assault, negligence, wrongful interference with goods, trespass, infringement of privacy and actions relating to data protection and retention of samples. The substantive and procedural aspects of each of these actions are set out with particular emphasis on civil jury trial procedure. This book also contains a wealth of practical and tactical advice from a highly experienced specialist practitioner on both pre-trial and at trial issues including disclosure from the police, case management conferences and drafting questions for juries. Issues concerning police powers and human rights are also raised. Solicitors, civil and criminal barristers and police forces will find this book particularly useful.
