Book Description
The Vulnerable Witnesses (Scotland) Act 2004 amends the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 for criminal cases. It creates a similar regime for civil cases, so that vulnerability of witnesses is considered, and measures are taken to support vulnerable witnesses to give evidence effectively. This book contains the Act's main provisions together with commentary to help you to understand it fully. Informed by the authors' experience of vulnerable witnesses in practice, the book provides an essential reference for lawyers, law students, those who lead or hear witness in court and other professionals dealing with young people and adults who may be vulnerable as potential witnesses.

Book Description
This Act is in three parts and makes provision for the use of special measures in criminal and civil court proceedings which involve taking evidence from children and other vulnerable witnesses. Provisions include: i) allowing, in certain cases, the admittance of evidence of previous identifications and expert evidence in regard to the subsequent behaviour of complainants; ii) introducing restrictions on an accused from personally conducting his/her own defence, and establishing a discretionary power to prohibit this in cases involving vulnerable witnesses, and an automatic prohibition in cases involving child witnesses under the age of 12 years old; iii) placing restrictions on the extent to which evidence can be led regarding the character and sexual history of a witness in referrals from the children's hearing system; and iv) the abolition of the competence test for all witnesses.
