Criminal Procedure in New Zealand is the leading text on understanding and applying the Criminal Procedure Act 2011. It provides expert analysis and guidance on case law, how the Act operates in practice, and the relationship it has with other statutes that impact the criminal process of criminal cases. As with previous editions, Criminal Procedure in New Zealand, third edition, provides an updated examination of the new procedures that have been the subject of judicial decision, elucidation or comment; legislative developments; and practical issues that arise in court. Key developments include incorporating amendments under the Courts Matters Act 2018 relating to offences, warrants, case management and proceedings in absence of the defendant, and the adding of charges during the trial, amongst others. It also updates sections on laws relating to bail and to dealing with young persons charged with offences, and looks ahead to the proposed contempt of court legislation.
