This essential title has long been the most comprehensive examination of all the rules in primary and secondary legislation relating to children’s hearings in Scotland.
The book is a step-by-step procedural guide to the entire system, from the bringing of the child to an initial hearing, through procedure at the hearing itself, to potential outcomes and appeals. Our expert author, Professor Norrie, deals in detail with the mechanisms for challenging grounds of referral before the Sheriff Court, Sheriff Appeal Court and the Court of Session.
The combination of extensive coverage and academic insight alongside practical guidance on recognised situations ensures that this is the complete resource for legal practitioners, local authorities, children’s reporters and panel members.
