Description

The last 30 years or so have witnessed major changes in civil procedure in Australia. Some changes, such as case management, have been revolutionary, resulting in a fundamental shift in the way in which the civil justice system operates. Other changes have focused on improving the efficacy of the various procedural tools available to parties in the litigation process. Intertwined with such changes is a distinct legislative and judicial policy of encouraging settlement of all civil disputes.

Updated to reflect significant developments since 2021, this new edition of Principles of Civil Litigation offers an analysis of the workings of the civil justice system, and provides detail on how civil litigation currently functions. It also suggests possible policy and procedural directions for the future of the civil justice system. This includes an examination of the impact of rapid technological change, especially in relation to increased automation and connectivity, as well as a discussion of the importance of professional ethics in the civil litigation environment. This edition introduces a new chapter examining the legal, philosophical, and political underpinnings of the civil justice system, exploring how concepts of justice inform its core objectives and have influenced reforms.

The focus of this edition remains upon the principles of civil litigation, rather than practical procedure. It offers readers a deeper understanding of the evolving landscape of civil procedure in Australia and serves as an essential resource for students, scholars, and legal professionals.
