Publisher's Synopsis
Anyone practising in the Civil Courts of England and Wales, whether a solicitor or a barrister, needs a thorough grasp of the principles of civil procedure and of the rules of practice as applied by the courts. This book provides a commentary on all the major areas of civil procedure and does so in sufficient depth to ensure that it does not become misleading through ommission. It has been designed to cover most of the points that are likely to arise in day to day practice. The book has been written for students studying the Legal Practice Course and for the Bar. It should prove useful for practitioners who want a clear exposition of the relevant principles relating to the applications they make in the course of litigation. This edition brings the text up-to-date, and includes the new standard forms of Mareva and Anton Piller orders, and a full discussion of the case law relating to automatic striking out in the county courts.
