This timely and pertinent collection looks at the variety of questions involved in the operation of Commissions of Inquiry (Co Is). Traditionally existing as pure fact-finding bodies, in recent times the function of Co Is has arguably shifted and broadened so as to provide a form of legal adjudication. This shift in their application merits scrutiny and this edited collection of essays addresses institutional and procedural aspects of Co Is, as well as issues in regards to the application and interpretation of the substantative law applied to them. Essay topics include the relationship of Co Is with, and impact upon, traditional forms of adjudication, the influences of international law upon the work of Co Is, through to issues of procedural fairness. Drawing upon the expertise of scholars working within in the field, it offers an insightful and critical analysis of Co Is.
