Commercial Dispute Resolution provides a thorough, up-to-date and practical examination of how litigation is conducted between commercial enterprises under the Civil Procedure Rules. The text also provides practical guidance on conducting commercial litigation involving a foreign element and explores the increasingly popular use of ADR.
This new edition of Commercial Dispute Resolution has been fully updated to take account of the Practice Direction on Pre-action Conduct and new costs rules, and changes to the Commercial Court procedure. This edition includes a new section on e-disclosure, an expanded chapter on alternatives to litigation and a new chapter on mediation.
