Uniform Evidence in Australia provides a comprehensive multi-jurisdictional commentary and annotation to the uniform Evidence Acts of the Commonwealth, NSW, Victoria, Tasmania, the ACT and NT. Format: Paperback Once published, this title will also be available in eBook format. [eISBN: 9780409334692] This book offers a user-friendly approach that combines commentary on the operation of the uniform Acts in each jurisdiction with a synthesis of the large body of cases, rules and related legislation. Understanding of the ActsoÂeÂ(tm) operation and interpretation is further enhanced by reference to the common law principles that are enshrined in, replaced or supplemented by individual provisions. Relevant practice notes and examples are included. For ease of navigation, the commentary to each provision includes extensive cross-references to other provisions that may impact on a particular issue, and the book includes a useful Glossary based on Act and common law terminology. The authors examine recurring challenges in the construction and application of the legislation, including the extent to which it is necessary or proper to resort to pre-Act case law. In so doing, they highlight and explore the tension between the prescriptive nature of some sections and the apparent reliance of others upon pre-existing common law principles. Significant recent developments that are addressed include: oÂeo differing approaches to the assessment of probative value in NSW and Victoria; oÂeo multiple High Court decisions on opinion evidence; oÂeo the introduction in NSW of the modified right to silence; oÂeo the substantial volume of recent appellate case law on tendency and coincidence evidence, including an extensive analysis of relationship evidence; and oÂeo jurisdictionally varying amendments to the privilege provisions. Features oÂeo Commentary follows the legislative structure of the unform Evidence Acts oÂeo Includes the legislation from all six uniform jurisdictions oÂeo Clear, concise analysis with plentiful examples oÂeo Frequent cross-references to other relevant sections facilitates familiarity with the Evidence Act as a body of law, rather than each section in isolation.

Criminal Law Perspectives: From Principles to Practice is an engaging introduction to the criminal law in New South Wales, Victoria, the Australian Capital Territory and the Commonwealth Criminal Code. It takes a comparative approach to the law in these jurisdictions, focusing on prevalent summary offences, substantive federal offences and criminal procedure. Complex concepts are explained and contextualised by linking them to practical applications. Each chapter is supported by tools for self-assessment: review questions; case boxes summarising and extracting key historical and contemporary cases; and longer, narrative end-of-chapter problems that promote student engagement and help students develop problem-solving skills and independent thinking. Criminal Law Perspectives explores the development of criminal law principles in Australia, and provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of criminal law for students studying in the area for the first time.

My name is Priscilla, Priscilla Homes. I'm an ace detective. You've probably heard of me. I cracked the Red Riding Hood case. Turned out the wolf did it. Yeah, it came as a surprise to me, too. However, my latest caper may be more difficult. I'll put on my thinking cap and bring out my magnifying glass and get on the case.
