Publisher's Synopsis
This work by a team of distinguished authors is designed to provide a guide to the complex set of legal and professional requirements that arise in the preparation of a case, from preliminary analysis of a client's problem to preparation for trial. The first part of the book explores the law and professional rules that govern the relationship between solicitors and barristers, their obligations to the client and the conduct of cases. The second section deals with nine areas of practice; each chapter takes a specialist area of law and looks at the partiucular requirements of that area in preparation of a case and in the provision of adequate instructions to counsel. The nine areas covered are: defamation; applications for financial relief in matrimonial causes; contentious probate; construction cases; interlocutory injunctions; professional negligence litigation; landlord and tenant; criminal cases; and personal injury litigation.
