Civil Litigation
provides the student with an excellent working knowledge of how civil
cases are conducted. Clients, instructing solicitors and judiciary
expect counsel to be fully conversant with all the features of civil
practice and so this manual explains these features concisely and
accessibly. Counsel dealing with civil cases soon find that
procedural questions arise more frequently than points of substantive
law and a good grasp of procedure is essential to ensure that
problems are avoided and that cases are dealt with justly. In
response to this, Civil Litigation provides students with the
necessary thorough grounding in civil procedure.
This manual covers
the whole range of procedure, from the use of Pre-Action Protocols,
through issue and service of proceedings, track allocation and
judicial case management, to trial, costs and appeals. It also
incorporates all recent changes to the Civil Procedure Rules, as well
as a number of recent case law developments.
This edition is
fully cross-referenced to Blackstone\\\'s Civil Practice .
Readership:
Students studying on the Bar Vocational Course.
