Zuckerman on Australian Civil Procedure (Paperback)

Paperback. Civil procedure lies at the heart of the judicial process as it establishes the mechanisms by which rights and obligations are enforced. An understanding of these mechanisms is therefore essential to anyone contemplating legal proceedings. The second edition of this important text provides a rigorous, principles-based analysis of civil procedure in Australia. Relevant principles are explored against a backdrop of state, territory and federal rules of procedure, and solutions are offered to difficult issues encountered in practice, and to unsettled questions of law.It is now accepted in Australia that rules of procedure, case management, and the conduct of litigants should facilitate the just, quick and cheap resolution of the real issues in dispute. The present edition examines this overriding objective and its consequences in practice by reference to recent case law. Attention is drawn to matters still unresolved or ripe for reform.While this work is concerned with Australian civil procedure, it draws on the English experience that shaped the Australian rules. The book benefits from the lead authors expertise in English civil procedure and his influential role in legal reform in England, as well as from the diverse experience and expertise of the Australian authors. The book is an essential text for both legal practitioners and academics and is highly valuable for law students seeking a deeper understanding of the principles informing the rules of procedure.Features Authoritative discussion of principles, policy and reform opportunities Comprehensive in-depth coverage of all major topics provides detailed guidance in an evolving practice area Rigorous principles-based analysis Offers solutions to complex problems of civil procedure providing a framework for legal argument in uncertain areas of procedure Covers all Australian state, territory and federal superior court procedural rules Chapters revised to cover recent decisions and new South Australian procedural rulesRelated Titles Colbran & Spender, Civil Procedure: Commentary and Materials, 8th ed, 2022 Lethbridge et al, Civil Litigation: Strategy and Practice, 2023 Heydon, Cross on Evidence, 14th Australian ed, 2023 Legg (ed), Resolving Civil Disputes, 2nd ed, 2024 Authoritative, principles-based analysis of Australian civil procedure Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
