Bo ok Re v i ews
(Continued from page 271)
of
Morgan
and that the rules of
evidence governing the plea are unclear.
The author points out that the
Dwyer
approach was adopted, and later
rejected as unworkable, by the English
and Australian courts. The article
therefore combines a comprehensive
statement of the present law with a well
argued appeal for reform.
The Journal has already established an
impressive record, much of which can
no doubt be attributed to the industry of
its editor. Irish criminal law is under-
going important changes at present. A
new reforming zeal has gripped those
entrusted with the task of revising and
updating legislation in this field. There
are no signs that the ever increasing
volume of judgments handed down by
our superior courts on criminal law and
practice is abating. Accordingly, there is
much work to be done by the Journal in
meeting the demands of this change. Its
future looks secure.

sign a simple declaration of health.
The deferred period is 13 weeks, with cover continuing to age 65.
There is also provision for the benefit to escalate by 5% annually for the duration of a claim.
