Full Description
Some commercial disputes can be dealt with in a number of different courts including the general lists in the High Court and county courts, as well as the specialist Commercial Court and Mercantile courts. These specialist courts have well-developed practices and procedures, which often differ significantly from the general practice under the CPR. Commercial and Mercantile Courts Litigation Practice is a major work designed for barristers and solicitors who bring cases in these specialist courts, combining authoritative commentary, practical precedents and procedural guides, and the full text of the relevant court guides. * Commentary Comprehensive and authoritative commentary on the practice and procedure in the Commercial Court and Mercantile Courts follows the chronology of an action and is accompanied by guidance on such matters as arbitration, funding, foreign issues and suitable work for these courts. Detailed and practical guidance is provided in areas where there is significant divergence from the general practice of the CPR, and advice is given on selecting the most appropriate court for a particular dispute.
* Precedents A comprehensive selection of over 40 time-saving and expertly drafted precedents covering the most common (and not so common) applications and orders are included in hard copy and CD-ROM. * Procedural Guides Presented in tabular form, procedural guides take you through the key applications to the courts. Each guide is cross-referenced to the relevant provisions of the CPR, the Commercial Court Guide and the Mercantile Courts Guide. * Court Guides The full text of the Guides for both the Commercial Court and Mercantile Courts, together with relevant practice directions, are included in full. * CD-ROM A free CD-ROM containing all precedents enables you to tailor each precedent to your particular needs.
