The 21st edition has been fully revised and includes new chapters, sections and fuller coverage on:

  • Challenges to the jurisdiction of the court following the service of the claim form which was made late or was otherwise irregular (a new section on Part 11)
  • Guidance on the Court of Appeal’s restatement of the court’s powers to compel parties to attempt ADR and on the new pilot scheme for compulsory mediation in many small claims
  • New cases on the effect of failure to cross-examine expert witnesses and on the making of orders for cross-examination at hearings other than trials
  • Two further new chapters on mediation and the intermediate track
  • Plus coverage of many other recent rule changes and case authorities (including amendments of pleadings, representative actions, injunctions against persons unknown, imaging orders and DDOs, debt relief orders and debt respite schemes)
