The Criminal Justice Act 2003 re-wrote the hearsay evidence rule
for the purpose of criminal proceedings, enacting the
recommendations of the Law Commission together with some proposals
from the Auld Review. In 2008, Professor Spencer wrote a book
explaining the new law, intended for practitioners as well as
academics. Following the style of his earlier book about the new
law on bad character evidence, the core of the hearsay book was a
section-by-section commentary on the relevant provisions of the
Act, discussing the case law that had interpreted them. Since the
appearance of the first edition, the new law on hearsay evidence
has been the subject of a spectacular exchange between the UK
Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights, the effects
of which the Court of Appeal has interpreted in several leading
cases. In this new edition, the commentary is revised to take
account of these developments. As in the first edition, the
commentary is preceded by chapters on the history of the hearsay
rule, and the requirements of Article 6(3)(d) of the European
Convention on Human Rights. It is followed by an appendix
containing the text of the statutory provisions and a selection of
the leading cases.
