The most substantial and authoritative exposition on the law of evidence in New Zealand. Recently updated to cover the new Evidence Act 2006. Written by experienced practitioners with a strong academic focus, Cross on Evidence New Zealand contains clear and concise commentary on complex issues of evidence law.
The looseleaf is "dropped-down" and printed as a textbook every couple of years. It has long been part of the Cross ethos to bring out the policy elements of the law, to underline the importance of considering the purpose which an item of evidence will serve when considering its admissibility in a doubtful case, and to criticise the existing law and suggest reform possibilities.
Dr Mathieson gives prominence to the leading cases decided by the Court of Appeal and refers to many decisions, both reported and unreported.
