Published by Sweet & Maxwell, Juliet Wells is the General Editor of the 4th edition.
First published in 2003 in the wake of the Woolf Reforms, Zuckerman on Civil Procedure has for many years been the leading academic and practitioners’ text on civil procedure. It presents a clear and thematic analysis of litigation under the Civil Procedure Rules, explaining how the court interprets and applies the Rules, how judges exercise their extensive case management powers, and how this impacts the conduct of litigation. Throughout, the emphasis is on bringing out the principles that govern the exercise of judicial discretion in order to help judges and practitioners to understand the relationship between individual Rules and general principles, and to deal with difficult problems that arise in the course of litigation. Its analysis is authoritative – the previous editions have been regularly cited by the High Court, the Court of Appeal, the Supreme Court and Privy Council, and by the highest courts in other common law jurisdictions.
The new 4th edition has been extensively restructured and revised, with an expanded chapter on case management and party compliance, and a new chapter on committal proceedings and other enforcement processes. It is fully updated to take account of new legislation, case law, and recent reviews into the workings of civil justice, including:
• The Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015 (which provides for dismissal of personal injury claims in cases of fundamental dishonesty, a new ‘different outcome’ test in applications for judicial review, and costs-capping orders in judicial review claims)
