Features

Used daily by thousands of lawyers and judges nationwide for the whole range of civil cases, the Civil Court Service (the Brown Book) combines detailed procedural guidance with authoritative, concise annotation in one volume.

Over 60 Procedural Guides lead you through the procedural steps of key applications to the court. Each guide is prepared by a leading civil litigation practitioner and is cross-referenced to the relevant CPR Rule, Practice Direction or Statute. The guides are grouped according to the following subject areas:

• Starting a Claim
• Costs
• Responding

Fully Annotated Rules and Practice Directions
