The leading work on civil and criminal evidence, Phipson on Evidence:-

  • Examines in detail all aspects of the complex principles and procedures which make up the law of evidence
  • Covers every area of the subject in depth, so that the work can be relied upon to solve even the most complex questions relating to evidence
  • Takes into account the introduction of the Civil Procedure Rules, the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and subsequent legislation passed in the five years since the previous edition was published
  • Provides a one-stop source of information, bringing the work completely up-to-date in its coverage of all recent developments in case law and legislation
  • Deals with the fundamental changes to the rules of hearsay and character introduced by the Criminal Justice Act 2003
  • Covers both civil and criminal evidence
  • Considers the complex mix of rules, principles and practice in a depth that is the envy of its competitors back to top
