This book sets out the main principles of the law of evidence in Hong Kong with special emphasis on criminal cases. While there remains considerable dependence upon the common law decision of the courts in England and Wales, as the text will demonstrate, uncritical reliance on these decisions would be a serious mistake. Hong Kong has taken its own path, in many instances drawing upon jurisprudence from other countries. The book coves all the major topics in the law of evidence. The authors have sought to alert the reader to relevant legal material in other jurisdictions and to the writings of commentators and significant empirical research which provides a richer context within which the rules of evidence are set. The rules are subject to critical scrutiny at all points.
Contents
Fourteen chapters including tables and index:
1????? The law of evidence
2????? Burden and standard of proof
3????? Presumptions, judicial notice, formal admissions
4????? Admissions and confessions
