Publisher's Synopsis
Arlidge, Eady & Smith on Contempt uniquely combines wide-ranging case law from a number of different areas, with a focus upon the underlying common principles. More current and comprehensive than any other work on the subject, this work covers both civil and criminal contempt in detail. Key developments include: * The increasing significance of the European Convention on Human Rights * The growing recognition of the role of the media, with particular reference to court reporting and the protection of journalists' sources * The need to compare English and Scottish law, especially for those publishing in both jurisdictions * Full coverage of important decisions within the UK and the Commonwealth
