The Blackstone's Guide Series delivers concise and accessible books
covering the latest legislative changes and amendments. Published
soon after enactment, they offer expert commentary by leading names
on the extent, scope, and effects of the legislation, plus a full
copy of the Act itself. They offer a cost-effective solution to key
information needs and are the perfect companion for any
practitioner needing to get up to speed with the latest changes.
The Coroners and Justice Act introduces significant changes to the
inquest system, including creating a new national coroner service
and establishing a new system of secondary certification of deaths
that are not referred to a coroner. It also reforms and clarifies
the law on homicide; updates the language of the offence of
assisting suicide; and contains amendments to the Data Protection
Act 1998 to strengthen the Information Commissioner's powers and
improve the sharing of information. It will establish a new
Sentencing Council for England and Wales, and introduce changes to
sentencing for terrorist offences. It will also introduce changes
in the arena of witness anonymity, including: granting
Investigative Witness Anonymity Orders in gun and knife crime
cases; granting anonymity to vulnerable or intimidated witnesses;
and extending the use of live video links and screens around the
witness box to enable vulnerable witnesses to give evidence.
This new Blackstone's Guide combines the full text of the Act with
an expert narrative. It seeks to explain the scope and impact of
the Act, including the civil liberties implications, and to bring
practitioners up-to-date with this complex piece of drafting.
Presented in a straightforward layout, it enables ease of use as a
reference source.
