Details

Civil procedure lies at the heart of the judicial process as it establishes the mechanisms by which rights and obligations are enforced. An understanding of these mechanisms is therefore essential to anyone contemplating legal proceedings. The second edition of this important text provides a rigorous, principles-based analysis of civil procedure in Australia. Relevant principles are explored against a backdrop of state, territory and federal rules of procedure, and solutions are offered to difficult issues encountered in practice, and to unsettled questions of law.

It is now accepted in Australia that rules of procedure, case management, and the conduct of litigants should facilitate the ‘just, quick and cheap’ resolution of the real issues in dispute. The present edition examines this overriding objective and its consequences in practice by reference to recent case law. Attention is drawn to matters still unresolved or ripe for reform.

While this work is concerned with Australian civil procedure, it draws on the English experience that shaped the Australian rules. The book benefits from the lead author’s expertise in English civil procedure and his influential role in legal reform in England, as well as from the diverse experience and expertise of the Australian authors. The book is an essential text for both legal practitioners and academics and is highly valuable for law students seeking a deeper understanding of the principles informing the rules of procedure.
