Ten years after the Civil Procedure Rules changed the landscape of civil justice in England and Wales, this book presents an analysis, by some of the leading judges, academics and practitioners involved in civil litigation in this country, of the effectiveness of the Woolf Reforms, and the challenges facing civil procedure today. With a Foreword by Lord Woolf of Barnes, contributors include some of those involved in the Access to Justice inquiry and the implementation of the CPR, as well as critics of the reforms. The book includes sections on the nature of the CPR as 'a new procedural code', case management, costs and funding, civil evidence (including the changes to expert evidence under the CPR), alternative dispute resolution, the influence of the CPR on reforms in civil law jurisdictions and the effect of EC law on English civil procedure, and empirical evidence for the effectiveness of the CPR.
Scholarly, timely and not infrequently controversial, the perspectives offered in "CPR Ten Years On" are an invaluable contribution to the ongoing debate continually generated by the CPR. No civil practitioner should be without it as we all have our own views of how successful the new landscape has been... * Phillip Taylor MBE, Richmond Green Chambers *
This is a stimulating set of studies by a distinguished group of academics, judges and practitioners. All who participated should be congratulated warmly. The Civil Procedure Rules Ten Years On will be of interest to procedural specialists in this jurisdiction and to the large body of foreign lawyers, whether common law or civilian, interested in our procedural changes and their impact * Neil Andrews of Clare College, Cambridge, Civil Justice Quarterly *
the first full-length book to discuss the merits and demerits of the reforms. * Journal of the Commonwealth Lawyers' Association *
