Details

The Civil Court Practice (Green Book) is the essential guide to bringing, defending and appealing civil proceedings and is an indispensable source of reference for all practitioners whether in the High Court or county courts. It provides focused, authoritative and comprehensive coverage of the CPR and is fully cross-referenced to Butterworths Civil Court Precedents.

Volume One of the Civil Court Practice (Green Book) examines procedure in the civil courts and contains the Civil Procedure Rules 1998.

Volume Two of the Civil Court Practice (Green Book) covers general and more specific jurisdiction of the civil courts. Included in Volume 2 are the Supreme Court Rules and PD's and the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council Rules and PD's.

A separate forms supplement sets out all available forms listed in CPR PD 4 together with some additional forms. Also included in this volume of the Civil Court Practice (Green Book) is a supplement including the procedural tables for easy desk top reference. These tables assist in complicated or lengthy procedures which have to be completed against the clock, minimising the risk of error.

A CD-ROM provides the full text and the complete set of fillable and downloadable forms.

Essential commentary and explanatory notes are included throughout, written by an expert editorial board, including Lord Justices of Appeal, QBD and Chancery Masters, district judges and leading practitioners. A Green Book subscription also includes a completely updated Volume One reissued for free in October, as well as updating supplements throughout the year, and a regular newsletter Civil Court News containing case summaries and articles.

The Civil Court Practice (Green Book) is known for its clear, comprehensive and pertinent explanation of the Rules, the cases and their application. This detailed coverage is unrivalled by other texts on civil procedure and places the Green Book firmly at the top of the litigation tree.

* All in 2 main volumes – nothing archived. Available in 3 formats – book and CD-ROM, and online as part of the Civil Procedure menu. The Green Book can be with you wherever and whenever.

The 2011 edition includes all recent updates to the CPR.
