Revised and updated, this manual explains the procedures involved in all types of litigation in the Queen's Bench Division and the county court.

It now takes account of the extensive changes in High Court and County court litigation practice since the last edition, as well as the new High Court Rules, and includes a discussion of the effects of the proposed reforms of the legal profession. The changes to legal aid following the Legal Aid Act 1988 have been taken into account.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Civil Litigation is a thorough, up to date and practical introduction to the Civil Procedure Rules and the principles and tactics used in pursuing a civil case. The civil process has been divided into five stages, starting with pre-action considerations, moving on to examine the issue and service of proceedings, before considering interim matters, trial and enforcement. The aim of the book is to equip readers with the necessary knowledge to enable them successfully to navigate their way through these stages. The text has a user-friendly structure and includes checklists and specimen documents which build up into a case study forming a useful overview of the civil litigation process. The appendices incorporate helpful flow diagrams and copies of the more common court forms used in civil litigation. This new edition has been revised to include comprehensive worked examples based on a case study; details of the new Practice Direction on Pre-action Conduct; the costs capping provisions in CPR rule 44.18; a practical guide to drafting Tomlin orders and the interpretation of advantageous under CPR rule 36.14. Recent case law developments have also been added, including Supperstone v Hurst [2008] and Kutsi v North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust [2008] (relief from sanctions); Peacock v MGN Ltd [2009] (costs capping); Jirehouse Capital v Beller [2008] (security for costs); Digicel (St. Lucia) Limited v Cable & Wireless Plc [2008] (disclosure); Carver v BAA Plc [2008] and Huntley v Simmonds [2009] (Part 36); Noorani v Calver (No. 2/Costs) [2009] (discontinuance); Tombstone Ltd v Raja [2008] (skeleton arguments); Earl of Malmesbury v Strutt & Parker [2008] (ADR and costs) and Burgess v J Breheny Contracts Ltd [2009] (after-the-event insurance and costs).
