Description

Blackstone's Civil Practice 2006 provides authoritative expert description and analysis of the process of civil litigation in the county courts and in the High Court. It combines a unique narrative commentary with the full text of the Civil Procedure Rules, Practice Directions and Pre-Action Protocols and Practice Guides. Blackstone's Civil Practice 2006 is the only civil court text to explain and analyse civil procedure in narrative chapters. Written by a team of expert practitioners and academics, the text follows the course of proceedings from funding litigation and commencement of a claim through to enforcement of judgements. The text offers lucid, practical guidance to the effective conduct of litigation - providing detailed guidance on both the general conduct of litigation, and more specialist areas such as judicial review, landlord and tenant and posession proceedings; sale of goods, and consumer credit. The narrative and materials have been updated in the light of CPR Updates 40 and 41, all rule amendments to the Civil Procedure Rules up to 6 April 2006, and the steady flow of important new cases since the last edition. New to this edition are a chapter on appeals under the Housing Act 1996, an expanded section on Alternative Dispute Resolution, and a substantially revised chapter on the Community Legal Service. Key developments include: -Reissued Part 20, with important changes to practice relating to counterclaims and additional claims against third parties -Revised practice for freezing and search orders in PD25 -New standard injunction orders, with wider undertakings in damages -Revised PD 31, giving specific guidance on the disclosure of electronic documents -New editions of the Chancery Court Guide and the Technology and Construction Court Guide (the latter CD ROM only) -the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 which will replace the House of Lords with a new Supreme Court new Protocol for the Instruction of Experts, Key new case law discussed in the book, includes: -Hertsmere Primary Care Trust v Estate of Balasubramanium on the duty to cooperate -Collier v Williams on service and extending the period of validity -Morgan Est (Scotland) Ltd v Hanson Concrete Products Ltd on amending after the expiry of limitation -O'Brien v Chief Constable of South Wales Police on the use of similar fact evidence in civil claims -Trustees of Stokes Pension Fund v Western Power Distribution (South West) plc on making and withdrawing Part 36 offers. The narrative is supported by procedural checklists, giving quick access to details of required actions, time limits and applicable Rules and Practice Directions. The text is also cross-referenced to comprehensive appendices containing a scrupulously edited and up-to-date text of the Civil Procedure Rules, Practice Directions, Pre-Action Protocols and Court Guides and selected procedural legislation. All copies of Blackstone's Civil Practice 2006 come complete with an individual user version CD-ROM, which is issued simultaneously with the bound book.

Description

Blackstone's Civil Practice 2011 provides authoritative coverage and expert analysis of the process of civil litigation in both the county courts and in the High Court. It combines a unique narrative commentary with the full text of the Civil Procedure Rules, Practice Directions and Pre-Action Protocols and Practice Guides and is the only civil court text to explain and analyse civil procedure in narrative chapters. Written by a team of expert practitioners and academics, the text follows the course of proceedings from funding litigation and commencement of a claim through to enforcement of judgments. The text offers lucid, practical guidance to the effective conduct of litigation - providing detailed guidance on both the general conduct of litigation and more specialist areas such as judicial review, landlord and tenant and possession proceedings, sale of goods, and consumer credit. The narrative is supported by procedural checklists, giving quick access to details of required actions, time limits and applicable Rules and Practice Directions. The text is also cross-referenced to comprehensive appendices containing scrupulously edited and up-to-date texts of the Civil Procedure Rules, Practice Directions, Pre-Action Protocols and selected procedural legislation. All copies of Blackstone's Civil Practice 2011 will be comprehensively updated by a paper supplement, included in the price, containing updates to the CPR and case law. The book is also accompanied by a regularly updated companion web site. The 39 Procedural Checklists in Blackstone's Civil Practice 2011 are available from IRIS Laserform. These step-by-step guides will save you valuable time, reduce risk and ensure successful case management. Practices will also benefit from direct links to relevant forms and hyperlinks to the MoJ website, for the Civil Procedure Rules and Practice Directions, and other websites for instant access to additional information and know-how.
