Sweet and Maxwell's High Court Litigation Manual

The increase in flexibility, both jurisdictional and procedural, between the County Courts and the High Courts has led to a mass of interlinked rules of practice and procedure. This book aims to guide the litigator through these often complex rules. The text sets out the stages involved in litigation and the action needed and includes a checklist of key points. The manual distills the coverage of the White Book and provides pointers for the efficient use of resources which are always under pressure in a busy practice or litigation department. Elements of litigation process covered include writ and pleadings, originating summons procedure, affidavits, appeals, evidence, discovery and inspection of documents, chambers procedure, assessment of damages, summary judgment, trial, costs and enforcement.
