Glossary

Butterworths is delighted to announce a new edition of Keith Bovey's highly acclaimed book - Misuse of Drugs. The second edition has been fully revised and updated to incorporate the corpus of Scottish case law which has developed in relation to most areas covered by the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971, in particular unlawful possession and searches. Legislative changes have been introduced by the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995, the Proceeds of Crime (Scotland) Act 1995 and the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995. A chapter on statutory sentencing has also been included for this new edition.""
