  Now in its ninth edition this book has been thoroughly updated and revised to take into account the recent developments in the legal process. Many recent Court of Appeal and High Court case law developments are incorporated into this book, as are important pronouncements by the House of Lords. This highly readable text is intended mainly for students of the English legal system seeking a clear and topical account of the more important institutions and practices of our legal process. The book includes chapters on remedies so as to introduce students at an early stage to the major forms of redress available in both private and public law. Their inclusion will be helpful to the understanding of contract, tort, administrative, property law and equity. New developments in areas such as reform of the tribunal system, the criminal court structure, the criminal jury, the criminal appeal system and judicial review are all fully discussed in light of the changes that have occurred since the eighth edition. New legislation now includes the Employment Relations Act 1999, the Criminal Justice and Court Services Act 2000, the Powers of Criminal Courts (Sentencing) Act 2000 and Part 54 of the Civil Procedure Rules.
