Disclosure issues affect every stage of the criminal investigation and subsequent proceedings yet this book is the only modern, comprehensive and in-depth volume on the subject. It provides the practitioner with a detailed analysis from a practical perspective by following chronologically the progress of a case from the outset of an investigation until its conclusion, addressing the obligations and responsibilities of each of the parties as they arise. The book focuses primarily on disclosure of the prosecutor's unused material, but it also covers the timing and content of disclosure by the prosecution of its case, and the obligations on the defence. Dedicated chapters on more specialist topics such as expert evidence, public interest immunity, and unused evidence are also included. The text analyses all the relevant law and procedure, to place practitioners in the best position to argue their case. It contains carefully selected appendices - comprising relevant parts of Criminal Procedure and Investigations Act 1996 as amended by the CJA 2003; CJA 2003; extracts from the Criminal Procedure Rules 2005; the CPIA Code of Practice; the new Attorney General's Guidelines on Disclosure; the Protocol for the Management of Heavy Fraud and Other Complex Criminal Cases; and extracts from the new CPS/ACPO Disclosure Manual.

An essential chronological framework for students of Portuguese literature.This companion volume offers an introduction to European Portuguese literature for university-level readers. It consists of a chronological overview of Portuguese literature from the twelfth century to the present day, by some ofthe most distinguished literary scholars of recent years, leading into substantial essays centred on major authors, genres or periods, and a study of the history of translations. It does not attempt an encyclopaedic coverage of Portuguese literature, but provides essential chronological and bibliographical information on all major authors and genres, with more extensive treatment of key works and literary figures, and a particular focus on the modern period. It is unashamedly canonical rather than thematic in its examination of central authors and periods, without neglecting female writers. In this way it provides basic reference materials for students beginning the study of Portuguese literature, and for a wider audience looking for general or specific information. The editors have made a principled decision to exclude both Brazilian and African literature, which demand separate treatment. STEPHEN PARKINSON, CLAUDIA PAZOS ALONSO and T. F. EARLE are all members of the Sub-Faculty of Portuguese at the University of Oxford.CONTRIBUTORS: Vanda Anastácio, Helena Carvalhao Buescu, Rip Cohen, T. F. Earle, David Frier,Luís Gomes, Mariana Gray de Castro, Helder Macedo, Patricia Odber de Baubeta, Hilary Owen, Stephen Parkinson, Cláudia Pazos Alonso, Juliet Perkins, Teresa Pinto Coelho, Phillip Rothwell, Mark Sabine, Claire Williams, Clive Willis.

Businesses fail – some spectacularly and suddenly, others more gradually over time. In some companies business decline can be turned around or at least delayed. In many others there is no option other than business closure. Over the past twenty years the rate of business failure has accelerated. Insolvency rates are high not just for small businesses but also for large well known public companies. Identifying possible causes of business distress is now recognised as an important agenda item. Creating the capacity to bounce back from such distress – business resilience – has become a priority. The authors blend their own practical experience, academic research and a systematic analysis of recent high profile cases including Flybe Group Plc, Arcadia Group Ltd, Carillion Plc, NMC Health Plc and Thomas Cook Group Plc in a review of potential causes of business distress and key resilience drivers. This is presented in detail in separate chapters covering business purpose, board effectiveness, the quality of strategic planning, financial stewardship, risk management, business turnaround strategies and director duties in times of business distress. The book sets out a practical benchmarking framework in the form of a toolkit with a series of detailed evidences – performance indicators – that companies can use to assess potential business distress and build a resilient company.
