Synopsis

Master how jury trials decide issues in Scottish law with real‑world case references.

This compact, reference‑driven volume collects the rules and examples used to frame issues in juries trials. It guides you from how issues should be drawn from the record to how they are controlled, named, and paired with evidence. The book emphasizes practical drafting, clear issue structure, and the careful use of counter‑issues and special topics, all grounded in reported decisions.

What you’ll experience
  • A practical framework for selecting and shaping issues that match the record
  • Ways to handle misrepresentation, force and fear, essential error, and other common grounds
  • Guidance on general vs. special issues, admissions, and schedules annexed to issues
  • A survey of topics across the law, including personal injury, property, and proceedings in courts and tribunals
Ideal for practitioners, students, and judges who need a concise, courtroom‑ready reference on formulating and assessing issues in jury trials.
