Author Description

Previously known as The County Court Practice Handbook, this work has undergone further revision to provide comprehensive guidance to practice under the civil procedure regime. Written for both High Court and County Court practitioners, this edition offers straightforward advice on the procedures, in the familiar style of previous editions. In addition, practical advice is given under the heading Practical Points. Covering everything from pre-action steps, through to the trial and enforcement of judgments, this title includes exhaustive treatment of areas introduced under the new civil procedure regime, including: pre-action protocols; claimants offer to settle; rules on disclosure and experts; fast track, multi-track and small claims track; new costs regime; new legislation, new rules and regulations; and recent changes brought about by the implementation of the Civil Procedure Rules, including fees, costs, striking out, evidence and summary judgment.
