  Every barrister needs to have a good working knowledge of how civil cases are conducted. Clients, instructing solicitors and judiciary expect counsel to be fully conversant with all the features of civil practice. Counsel dealing with civil cases soon find that procedural questions arise rather more frequently than points of substantive law, and a good grasp of procedure is essential to ensure that problems are avoided and that cases are dealt with justly. This Manual covers the whole range of civil procedure, from the use of Pre-Action Protocols, through issue and service of proceedings, track allocation and judicial case management, to trial, costs and appeals. It also incorporates all recent changes to the Civil Procedure Rules, as well as a number of recent case law developments. This new edition is fully cross-referenced to Blackstone's Civil Practice.
