Details

There are many circumstances in which the Courts can order a party to put up cash security, from security for costs to receivership. This work brings together critical analysis of, and practical guidance on, all types of security in one place for the first time.

Written by a team of commercial litigators from Littleton Chambers with a wide range of practical experience and expertise, this work takes a practical, problem-solving approach and shows litigators how to navigate the technicalities, utilise the weapons available to them and defend clients from claims. Security for Costs and Other Court Ordered Security will help practitioners develop case-winning strategies through using tactics that work. It is equally well suited to those working on large scale litigation and those who want to apply for summary judgement or for an order for security costs.

This new title takes account of the procedural changes that came in to force in October 2009, including rules for the new Supreme Court. It is an essential companion for barristers, solicitors and in-house lawyers involved with civil litigation at all scales.
