The defendant’s right to examine the witnesses
against him (Art. 6 par. 3d ECHR)
How the common law perception and the jurisprudence
of ECtHR affect the Greek criminal procedure

Abstract:
Since Al- Khawaja and Tahery set an example of “dialogue” between
the British courts and the ECtHR, the issue of interaction of ECtHR and national
legal orders has gained front page attention. This book is about the impact of
ECtHR jurisprudence concerning the confrontation right in the Greek criminal
procedure. In order to fully understand the notion of confrontation right adopted
by ECtHR the perception of the right in common law countries, especially in UK
is indispensable. An extensive analysis of confrontation right in Criminal Justice
Act 2003 has been conducted together with the presentation of the law of evi-
dence. The insight in the British legal system has been fruitful for elaborating de
lege ferenda recommendations for the Greek criminal procedure.
