  Formerly known as O'Hare & Hill: Civil Litigation, this text is widely regarded as the 'bible' on the subject. It is a portable and accessible work that offers both student and experienced litigators indispensable 'how to' advice on all types of civil litigation. It takes the reader step-by-step through every stage of an action in a logical sequence, from the preliminary stages of litigation - such as taking a witness statement - through the directions stage, to trial, costs, enforcement and appeals. The authors, both experienced writers and practitioners, adopt a narrative approach to help readers search by subject and obtain a wider range of information than provided by an annotated work. This new edition takes into account all the latest changes relating to the ongoing reform and consolidation of the civil litigation process. * A one-volume, portable guide through all stages of litigation * Covers all types of civil litigation at Queen's Bench and County Court levels * Essential introduction to the subject for the student * Useful aide-memoire for the trainee and more experienced practitioner * Highly practical approach, with liberal use of examples throughout
