Case Book on Criminal Practice and Procedure

This case book contains essential cases on topics spanning criminal
practice and procedure. Criminal advocates as well as judicial offi cers
and students will fi nd foundational cases as well as some of the latest
authorities on areas such as autrefois, juries, sentencing, summary
procedure, bail and criminal jurisdiction. It is hoped that this book will
to some extent alleviate the tedium entailed by serious legal research
through its lucid and concise identifi cation and examination of the legal
principles illustrated by the various cases. Although the focus of the
book is Commonwealth Caribbean jurisprudence, cases dealt with by
the courts of the United Kingdom are also analysed.
