Principles of Evidence fourth edition • provides invaluable assistance to students and practitioners alike; • continues to assess the impact of the Constitution on the traditional Anglo-South African law of evidence, with attention paid to the admissibility of unconstitutionally obtained evidence in particular; • examines the growing body of case law dealing with hearsay evidence, confessions and admissions; • analyses recent case law developments regarding the use of the previous inconsistent statement of a hostile witness as an admissible form of substantive evidence; • offers a separate discussion of statutory provisions regulating matters as diverse as, for example, sexual history evidence and the admissibility of electronic evidence; • considers the following sections of the Criminal Law (Sexual Offences and Related Matters) Amendment Act 32 of 2007: s 58 (previous report of victim of sexual offence); s 59 (delay in reporting); and $ 60 (abolition of cautionary rule in respect of victim's evidence).

The law of evidence is vital to each legal practitioner and forms part of the curriculum of every South African law qualification. It is compulsory even for some degrees not strictly confined to legal practice, such as certain police and related qualifications. However, law of evidence is not considered an easy subject, especially not for persons who have never been inside a court of law. In this work, academics with practical experience of the criminal justice system have selected a number of decided cases as well as statutes relevant to the law of evidence. Illuminating commentary is provided, which should assist any student of the discipline to get to the core of these texts. Attention has also been paid to the constitutional aspects of the law of evidence.
