Admissibility of cross-border evidence

This thesis addresses the issue of cross-border evidence from the point of view of its admissibility before national courts. Differences between Member States' legal regimes governing investigative measures complicates the judge's task to review the legality of the evidence collected abroad. This PhD seeks to reflect on alternative admissibility tests that could be established at EU level to enhance free movement of evidence while ensuring compliance with fundamental rights in the area of freedom, security and justice.
