David Corker and David Young have combined to produce this essential guide to all areas of the law relating to abuse of process in criminal law - including delay, double jeopardy, breach of process, adverse publicity and much more.

The second edition of their much respected text provides new chapters and developments in the law relating to entrapment, extradition and disclosure. The book also incorporates all procedural changes since the first edition, particularly in light of the Auld Report and the impact of the Human Rights Act. In addition, it also provides detailed coverage in the complex area relating to Public Interest Immunity Certificates.
