Published in the wake of the enlargement of county court jurisdiction as a result of the Courts and Legal Services Act 1990, this book demonstrates how to conduct personal injury litigation. From the moment when the client's file is opened to the end of an appeal, it offers advice to practitioners - not only those who undertake occasional cases, but also specialists who need to keep themselves informed about new procedures, strategy and tactics. The book should also help advanced students to understand how civil litigation works in practice. A detailed explanation of the work usually undertaken exclusively by counsel offers insights for barristers and also solicitors who work with counsel or conduct their own cases. A collection of precedents and pleadings is included, together with specimen letters for use at all stages of the conduct of the case.

Explaining defendants' rights in statute and codes of practice, this book also sets out the action the lawyer at the police station needs to take at each stage to protect these rights and ensure fair treatment. Legal-aid implications are discussed in detail, and the book takes account of research findings on all aspects of police station advice. This second edition has been revised and expanded to take account of the changes introduced by the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, the revised Code of Practice, the powers of the police to grant conditional bail, recent case-law (such as Edwards v DPP, C v DPP, and R v Neil), and Home Office circulars on cautioning and mentally disordered suspects. Also included are reproductions of all five PACE Codes of Practice, and full reproduction of PACE 1984 Parts I to IX and XI (as amended) and Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 ss34 to 38. Discussion of practical points, tactical tips and ethical issues is supported by checklists, sample forms and specimen letters.
