Book Description
This work covers practice and procedure in the High Courts, the Regional Tribunals, the circuit courts, the circuit tribunals, the district courts and the community tribunals in Ghana. The author elucidates the structures of these institutions, and the relationships between them. He stresses the importance of the district courts, and community tribunals which remain for the most part unrecognised - undeservedly so, he maintains, since they form the building blocks of the Ghanaian legal system and a training ground for the country's lawyers. He discusses the role of the magistrate and the need for better magisterial guidance to make these courts effective.

The Special Criminal Court: Practice and Procedure
Author: Alice Harrison
Publisher: Bloomsbury Professional
ISBN: 9781780439068
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 824
Book Description
The Special Criminal Court: Practice and Procedure is the first general textbook in four decades to cover all aspects of the Special Criminal Court. It is a comprehensive and detailed review of the Court's rulings, legislative developments, and procedural and evidential rules. In light of the fact that the Special Criminal Court is a creature of statute, the procedural rules are extraordinarily specific and this book sets these out comprehensively and clearly, so as to be accessible and useful to the practitioner. It provides practitioners with all relevant material on the practical considerations, procedural requirements, and evidential issues specific to the Special Criminal Court. The book covers the range of offences typically tried by the Court, and contains detailed discussions on: - The most recent case law and legislative developments - Subversive crime and the special evidential requirements relating to subversive crime - The rules of the Special Criminal Court and the specific procedure applicable in that court - The challenges taken to the Special Criminal Court regime in light of the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights - Witness protection - Investigative powers - Surveillance - Accomplice evidence - Disclosure and privilege in the context of the Special Criminal Court - Organised crime

Expert evidence in criminal proceedings in England and Wales
Author: Great Britain: Law Commission
Publisher: The Stationery Office
ISBN: 9780102971170
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
This project addressed the admissibility of expert evidence in criminal proceedings in England and Wales. Currently, too much expert opinion evidence is admitted without adequate scrutiny because no clear test is being applied to determine whether the evidence is sufficiently reliable to be admitted. Juries may therefore be reaching conclusions on the basis of unreliable evidence, as confirmed by a number of miscarriages of justice in recent years. Following consultation on a discussion paper (LCCP 190, 2009, ISDBN 9780118404655) the Commission recommends that there should be a new reliability-based admissibility test for expert evidence in criminal proceedings. The test would not need to be applied routinely or unnecessarily, but it would be applied in appropriate cases and it would result in the exclusion of unreliable expert opinion evidence. Under the test, expert opinion evidence would not be admitted unless it was adjudged to be sufficiently reliable to go before a jury. The draft Criminal Evidence (Experts) Bill published with the report (as Appendix A) sets out the admissibility test and also provides the guidance judges would need when applying the test, setting out the key reasons why an expert's opinion evidence might be unreliable. The Bill also codifies (with slight modifications) the uncontroversial aspects of the present law, so that all the admissibility requirements for expert evidence would be set out in a single Act of Parliament and carry equal authority.
