Summary "Any lawyer practising in the civil courts in England and Wales needs a thorough grasp of practice and procedure, and the rules of practice as applied by the courts. Taking a pragmatic rather than an academic approach to the topic. A Practical Approach to Civil Procedure provides a comprehensive commentary on all the major areas of civil litigation." "Designed to cover points that are likely to arise in day-to-day practice, the text explains the various procedures that must be followed as a claim progresses from its early stages through its interim stages, and on to trial, enforcement, and possible appeal." "This eighth edition has been revised in the light of developments in the law and practice, and also to take into account feedback from readers. It includes an increase in the number of commercial precedents, and an expanded treatment on human rights and alternative dispute resolution procedures."--BOOK JACKET
