Book Synopsis Vulnerable Witnesses Scotland Act 2004 by : Sharp Laura Sharp
Book excerpt: The Vulnerable Witnesses (Scotland) Act 2004 amends the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 for criminal cases. It creates a similar regime for civil cases, so that vulnerability of witnesses is considered, and measures are taken to support vulnerable witnesses to give evidence effectively. This book contains the Act's main provisions together with commentary to help you to understand it fully. Informed by the authors' experience of vulnerable witnesses in practice, the book provides an essential reference for lawyers, law students, those who lead or hear witness in court and other professionals dealing with young people and adults who may be vulnerable as potential witnesses.
