Description
"Arlidge, Eady & Smith on Contempt" combines wide-ranging case law from a number of different areas, with a focus upon the underlying common principles. This text presents a current and comprehensive work, covering 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; and full coverage of important decisions within the UK and the Commonwealth.
