Academic Paper from the year 2021 in the subject Law - Civil Action / Lawsuit Law, grade: 5.0, University of Lagos (Law), course: Law, language: English, abstract: This paper sets out to analyze the application of good and bad character evidence to criminal proceedings within the corpus of the Evidence Act, 2011. The term "character" has been defined by several legal writers and Judges for the purpose of determining its scope in the light of the law of evidence. The general consensus from the several definitions is that “character” is the general reputation as opposed to his disposition. Under the Nigerian Evidence Act 2011, the same definition was given pursuant to section 77 which defines the expression “character” to mean reputation as distinguished from disposition. It goes on to state that except as mentioned in sections 78 to 82, evidence may be given only of the general reputation, and not of the particular acts by which reputation or disposition is shown. Unlike in civil proceedings, the Evidence Act creates a distinction between bad and good character for the purpose of determining the admissibility of character evidence in criminal proceedings.

Designed to cover each stage of the process, from identifying bad character, getting it past the gateways, and directing the jury on its use, 'A Practical Guide to Bad Character Evidence' is your one-stop reference text when prosecuting and defending criminal trials in England and Wales. It separates the theory from the reality, providing examples and common-sense guidance on the scope and limitations of the use of bad character evidence. Since bad character evidence pervades the trial process, sometimes in unexpected ways, it is vital that practitioners have an understanding of the up-to-date legal position and how it works in practice. Each chapter focuses on a different stage or concept, breaking down the legislative tests and distilling the key cases in a clear and structured way. Chapters contain handy sub-headings to facilitate quick lookup, and the user is guided to other relevant headings and cases that will assist. There is also an index of cases to help with ready navigation.

At present, evidence of previous misconduct (including previous criminal convictions) can be only brought forward in English and Welsh criminal courts in very limited circumstances. This Law Commission report proposes that these limitations should be modified. For example, the defence should be free to put forward evidence without fear of 'tit for tat' disclosure of past, irrelevant misbehaviour by the defendant. The 'previous' should be admissible as evidence, only to the extent that it is strictly relevant to the case. 'Previous' which is 'stale' or irrelevant, should not be admissible.

Self-test questions are included in the book, helping students to test their understanding and prepare for assessment. Well written, clear and with a logical structure throughout, it contains all the information necessary for any undergraduate evidence law module.

The Criminal Justice Act 2003 re-wrote the hearsay evidence rule for the purpose of criminal proceedings, enacting the recommendations of the Law Commission together with some proposals from the Auld Review. In 2008, Professor Spencer wrote a book explaining the new law, intended for practitioners as well as academics. Following the style of his earlier book about the new law on bad character evidence, the core of the hearsay book was a section-by-section commentary on the relevant provisions of the Act, discussing the case law that had interpreted them. Since the appearance of the first edition, the new law on hearsay evidence has been the subject of a spectacular exchange between the UK Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights, the effects of which the Court of Appeal has interpreted in several leading cases. In this new edition, the commentary is revised to take account of these developments. As in the first edition, the commentary is preceded by chapters on the history of the hearsay rule, and the requirements of Article 6(3)(d) of the European Convention on Human Rights. It is followed by an appendix containing the text of the statutory provisions and a selection of the leading cases.
