Case Management in the Crown Court

This book is designed to assist all those who work in the UK's Crown Court in dealing with the day-to-day practical problems that arise both before and during trial. In particular, it deals with all the problems that pre-trial case management can pose, as well as management type problems that can arise during the course of a trial, such as problems with jurors, witnesses, and absent defendants. The book deals with all the main applications, such as bad character, disclosure, and abuse of process. As such, it will be an invaluable vade mecum for barristers and solicitors appearing in the Crown Court, officers of the Court, circuit judges, and members of the Crown Prosecution Service whose work brings them into daily contact with the Court.
