This book is intended to give a brief, clear and comprehensive overview of litigation including arbitration and ADR in England. It includes accounts of tactical matters and practical "tips" in addition to descriptions of the procedures involved. It is not intended to be a lawyer's bible and thus deliberately excludes citations of authority or the use of technical language.
Selected Contents:
Comprising 40 chapters it includes:
an introduction anticipating the effect of Lord Woolf's proposed reforms.
two new chapters on banking/finance and insurance.
an expanded and much revised chapter on Arbitration and ADR following the importance and operation of the Arbitration Act 1996 in practice.
a glossary of terms.
key procedural sections on all the important steps in litigation including discovery and exchange of expert evidence - revised to reflect Lord Woolf's intended reform.
accounts of special procedures such as judicial review, injunctions, insolvency, employment, and European Court of Justice procedures.
As a first port of call, this invaluable guide should universally appeal to lawyers and non-lawyers alike who would like to understand better the litigious process in a non-technical way. It will be especially useful to overseas lawyers, in-house lawyers not specialising in litigation as well as commercial companies.
