The number of civil actions brought against the police increases every year as the public becomes more aware of their right as new causes of action and case law develops. This balanced, up-to-date 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. A wealth of practical and tactical advice given 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 good value product particularly useful.""
