Since the last edition of this book, case law has been developing rapidly, and many answers have had to take this into account. In particular, the influence of the Human Rights Act 1998 has been experienced in severaltopics, including reversal of the burden of proof in criminal trials, theexclusion of improperly obtained evidence, and the operation of s 41 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. There have also been important developments affecting identification evidence, the Criminal Evidence Act 1898, s 78(1) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, and s 34 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. As in the last edition, so in retrospect have included the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.
