Clients, instructing lawyers, and the judiciary expect counsel to be fully conversant with all the features of civil practice, and 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.
