Borrie and Lowe; The Law of Contempt

The environment surrounding contempt has shifted over the last decade. Freedom of the press, freedom of information and the Human Rights Act have drastically altered fair trails and privacy in legal proceedings; not to mention the development of common law and statutes in the intervening period. Regularly cited in court, this essential title from the Common Law Series covers the general common law position governing publications interfering with legal proceedings. The leading authority in its field, Borrie and Lowe is a comprehensive statement of the law relating to criminal and civil contempt of court. Regularly cited in the Courts, this substantial and authoritative title is also highly regarded by members of the press. Now in its fourth edition, the work has been throughly revised and updated to include new chapters incorporating the Human Rights Act 1998, the Children Young Persons Act 1933 and the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.
