Opis

Surveying the discretions exercised by criminal trial courts at both the Crown Court and Magistrates Court level and discretion in the criminal appellate process, this book provides a theoretical framework with which to assess discretions, examines the evidential and procedural discretions whose existence is recorded in cases, statutes, and the reports of law reform bodies, and lists the known principles by which these discretions should be exercised.

Recenzje

Dr Pattenden has the knack of finding the most recondite authorities, and of utilizing the most apposite quotations and examples. Such a result reflects application and facility of a quite extraordinary quality. The range of the book, and its depth, are vast ... There can be no doubt that every serious scholar, teacher and practitioner of the law of criminal procedure and evidence must have access to this work. It is in the very rare category of an indispensable source.
