Description
Trusted by generations of students and litigators, A Practical Approach to Civil Procedure is the perfect guide through the maze of procedural requirements employed in the civil courts. Written by an expert in the field, the book provides a wide-ranging and detailed overview of the key statutory provisions, rules, practice directions and case law which govern the various stages of a civil litigation claim, making it essential reading for students and newly qualified litigators alike. Providing highly practical guidance throughout, the book charts the progress of a typical civil litigation claim, ensuring that the reader is equipped with a thorough understanding of the key principles and procedures which underpin a civil claim from funding litigation and issuing and serving proceedings, through to trail, enforcement and appeal. Full coverage of alternative dispute resolution is also included.
Relevant sample documentation is featured throughout and introduces the reader to the forms and documents which will be encountered in practice, while key point summaries, featured at the end of chapters, highlight the essential points covered and ensure that the reader is aware of the necessary procedural rules which govern a particular topic. Updated annually, this fourteenth edition has been fully revised in light of the latest statutory and case law developments in the area.
