Reviews

The text remains the leading one on evidence and this latest edition will assuredly ensure it remains so. …. Renton and Brown has a chapter on evidence, and that and the work by Sheriff (latterly Lord) Macphail bring their own value, but this text provides a detailed and thorough analysis of the law of evidence.” -- David J Dickson * The Journal of the Law Society of Scotland (Review of the Fifth Edition) *
