    • Summary:"Arlidge, Eady & Smith on Contempt" provides a detailed, comprehensive and authoritative discussion of the principles and procedures that make up the law in this area, from the history of contempt through to the latest developments in practice and procedure. Since the last edition, the law of contempt has evolved considerably. In the intervening seven years the Civil Procedure Rules and the Human Rights Act 1998 have been introduced, and numerous leading cases have been decided, such as recent House of Lords decisions relating to jury secrecy. There have also been important changes in the law relating to granting and enforcing injunctions in family cases, and to the protection of journalists sources. This new edition brings the reader up to date with all these major developments.
