Product Description

This book is a comprehensive guide to the practice and procedure used in the disciplinary processes in the armed forces. It covers investigation, custody, summary trial, courts-martial, and the relevant appellate procedure, also describing the powers of punishment available to each service authority or court. The sources from which the book is drawn are diverse and complex, and are thus not easy to collate and integrate, but the book puts all the relevant material together in a format that is accessible and easy to understand, with full references throughout to the primary and secondary legislation and Queen's Regulations. The authors have set out to provide an easy to use, authoritative reference guide for practitioners and members of the armed forces, and the book will also be an invaluable help for anyone interested in this subject, whether for research or pure academic purposes. It will also be of great assistance to those who are new to the system but need quickly to acquaint themselves with it. The book was previously published as Courts-Martial Handbook: Practice and Procedure, but has now been reworked in certain areas to bring the reader completely up to date with recent developments in the law relating particularly to custody, summary trial, and the Summary Appeal Court.

Military Law4
This quiet excellent book, should be on the shelf of every Military lawyer and commander, the detail and research in it are unbelieavable.British Military Law can serve as a persuasive precedent for most common law nations military law, The most outstanding feature of the book is the reference guide, as a barrister dealing in military law i would have recourse to refer to this book regularly, the only fly in the ointment is the new ECHR attitude to court martials, which should be in an updated version, well done Mr Rant ( what a great name )
