Civil procedure

de Stephen Gerlis, Paula Loughlin

"Civil Procedure provides a comprehensive account of the most important rules, practice directions and protocols which make up the Civil Procedure Rules 1998. The new culture, typified by case management, proportionality and the overriding objective, has fundamentally reformed the principles on which our civil procedure system is based. The substance of the CPR are considered in detail here and case law is examined to illustrate how the court applies the rules in practice. This book sets out a clear guide to the meaning of the new rules and provides an understanding of how they operate in practice." "The book is of value both to students of civil procedure at all levels, as well as practitioners who regularly grapple with the CPR 1998"--Jacket.
