Features

• Contains over 350 precedents (see Index below)
• Offers the convenience and the practical value of a complete library of precedent material for every stage of matrimonial proceedings including draft letters and affidavits set out in accordance with the various stages in an action
• Gives a concise commentary and procedural checklists for each precedent, to help ensure that the correct procedure is followed, with nothing overlooked
• Includes alternative or additional clauses where these are required
• Ensures that, wherever possible, each precedent is entirely self-contained to facilitate photocopying or dictation; where there are one or more alternative clauses in the document, this is clearly shown and specimen clauses are set out separately
• Covers a wide range of domestic disputes through and extremely comprehensive set of precedents
• Includes with the commentary which follows each core precedent, any deviation from the particular form and indicates the circumstances when an alternative form should be used

The Disk version is a set of Word documents as listed below. It does not include the introductions and commentaries.

For a wide selection of prescibed forms – the ideal complement to Practical Matrimonial Precedents – see infolaw Family FormsPlus.
