Product details

Description

The Reform of Civil Justice provides a concise explanation of the 2013 Jackson civil justice and costs reforms, ensuring practitioners can find clear and practical guidance on how they fit together.

Co-authored by Sir Rupert (formerly Lord Justice) Jackson himself, along with barrister Stephen Clark, it offers a first-hand record of what the reforms aimed to achieve and a review of their success to date, drawing lessons from the process.

This second edition has been updated to include:

coverage of Sir Rupert Jackson’s significant 2017 report on recoverable costs, which considers measures to extend fixed rate costs into parts of the multi-track;
a fuller discussion of civil justice reform projects before the twenty-first century;
an account of the post-Jackson reform projects, in particular the Briggs Reports and the Courts Modernisation Programme; and
coverage of other recent developments in costs management.

The Reform of Civil Justice is an ideal resource for all those who require an in-depth yet succinct insight into the most prominent and important reforms to civil litigation since the Woolf Reforms. As the new Foreword by the Lord Chief Justice, Lord Burnett of Maldon, notes:

“Any work on the reform of civil justice that can trace the inherent difficulties back to Aristotle and arrive at the court reform programme via Thomas Aquinas, Sir Matthew Hale, and Bentham (as well as the more conventional historical series of inquiries) does more than demonstrate learning but will stimulate thought and also entertain.”

Stephen Clark is a Barrister of the Inner Temple.

The Right Honourable Sir Rupert Jackson is a former Lord Justice of Appeal.
