Synopsis

Any lawyer practising in the civil courts in England and Wales needs a thorough grasp of practice and procedure, and the rules of practice as applied by the courts. Taking a practical, rather than an academic, approach to the topic of Civil Litigation, this book provides an excellent commentary on all the major areas of civil procedure. It has been designed to cover points that are likely to arise in day-to-day practice. It explains the various procedures that must be followed as a claim progresses from its early stages through its interim stages and on to trial, enforcement, and possible appeal. The new edition includes numerous changes made by amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules and Practice Directions, including changes to appeals, dispositions and the electronic issue of proceedings. Among the cases discussed are Bloomsbury Publishing group v News Group Newspapers on granting interim injunctions against persons unknown , Binks v Securicor Omega Express on the requirement to have a statement of truth when pleading alternative or inconsistent cases, and Man (E.D. and F.) Liquid Products Ltd v Patel dealing with the burden of proof in applications for summary judgment. Also notable are Flightline Travel Services v Gill on freezing injunctions, Bhamjee v Forsdick on restraining litigants who are persistently vexatious, and Marcic v Thames Water Utilities on the scope of arts. 6(1) and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
