  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 ninth edition has been revised in the light of recent 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 key point summaries now appear at the end of most chapters to highlight the most important points covered. Among the changes in the rules and practice directions are the new rules on interim payments, the revised practice on appeals and the replacement of the personal injury pre-action protocol. Online Resource Centre A test bank accompanies this new edition, offering 60 multiple choice questions and answers to help lecturers assess their students' progress.
