New for 2011

The 2011 edition is completely up-to-date with all the latest changes, including:

• Important case-law such as Manchester City Council v Pinnock where the court held that in principle if a public body sought to evict an occupier from his home the proportionality of doing so could be considered by the county court
• A raft of judgments such as Rajval Construction v Bestville Properties that provide helpful guidance on more common procedural requirements
• The forthcoming 55th Update to the Civil Procedure Rules which will contain changes to Part 6 allowing address for service to be anywhere within the European Economic Area, amendments to Parts 74 and 78 to facilitate cross-border mediated settlements
• Further amendments to the Mortgage Protocol introduced to ensure that the courts have the power ‘to insist that repossession is always the last resort’
