Details

Providing detailed commentary of unrivalled quality on the process of civil litigation, this is the only major civil work to adopt a narrative approach based on the chronology of a claim.

Written by a team of expert practitioners and academics, it provides authoritative analysis on the process of civil litigation from commencement of a claim to enforcement of judgments, addressing civil procedure in the county court, the High Court, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court.

The book also considers more specialist areas such as insolvency proceedings, sale of goods, and human rights, providing expert analysis on a comprehensive level. Commentary is combined with the text of the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR), Practice Directions (PD), and Pre-Action Protocols and Procedural Checklists, all fully cross-referenced to the text to ensure ease of use for the busy practitioner.

Also available, Blackstone's Civil Practice 2015: The Commentary is a concise version of this book, providing the unique commentary independently from the CPR, PD and other appendix materials.
