Evidence Act Annotated with Cases By A. M. Adebayo
₦3,500
This is the third edition of this book. The book was first published in 2003 and later in 2010. The need to review the second edition of this book stemmed from the enactment of the new Evidence Act by the National Assembly in 2011. The Evidence Act No. 18 of 2011 expressly repealed the Evidence Act Cap. E14, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004.
The new Evidence Act although retains some of the old provisions such as section 31, introduced new provisions which cover new legal issues which were not covered by the old Act.
Such new provisions includes improperly obtained evidence under section 14 and 15, hearsay rule under section 37 and 38, conviction as evidence in civil proceedings under section 63, computer generated documents under section 84, conflicting affidavit under section 116, presumption of marriage under section 166 to mention but a few.
Like the old edition, this book explains each section of the Evidence Act, including the new sections with cases. This book will be useful to students, law teachers, legal practitioners, lovers of the law and lovers of the rule of law. It is a veritable practice tool to arm you with authorities both within and outside the court room.
