PRINCIPLES OF CIVIL LITIGATION
David Bamford
The last 25 years have witnessed major
changes in civil procedure in Australia. Some
changes, such as case management, have been
revolutionary, resulting in a fundamental shift in
the way in which the civil justice system works.
Other changes have focused on improving the
efficacy of the various procedural tools available
to parties in the litigation process.
Principles of Civil Litigation analyses civil
procedure within the broader context of these
changes, along with possible directions for future
reforms. It does not merely explain the rules of
court – it employs original research to provide a
systematic overview of the core procedural steps
in the civil justice system and explains how these
processes function in practice and their impact
upon justice. It considers litigation within a
dispute-resolving context and recognises that the
majority of cases do not progress to judgment.
Principles of Civil Litigation aims to promote
debate about the direction of procedural reform
and the wider implications of civil procedure,
along with an understanding of how civil
litigation works today.
