Ritchies Uniform Civil Procedure Nsw

The Civil Procedure Act 2005 (CPA) and Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 2005 (UCPR) represent an important advance in the conduct of civil litigation in New South Wales. For the first time, one set of rules governs the general conduct of civil proceedings in the Supreme, District and Local Courts and the Dust Diseases Tribunal. In line with these legislative changes, Ritchie's Uniform Civil Procedure NSW covers all these tiers of court procedure within the one publication, providing expert annotation of the legislation as well as comprehensive practice material including information about forms, fees, practice notes, case law and related legislation. Ritchie's Uniform Civil Procedure NSW includes some very convenient and time-saving features, such as comparative tables linking the old rules/Acts to new provisions in the new rules/Act. Also at the beginning of each Part of the UCPR, boxed summaries and quick indexes are included, so you can see at a glance whether the part is relevant and easily find any particularly pertinent annotations. For each Part, these summaries will give you a general overview, a summary of its substance and cross-references to related parts of the rules. The boxed summaries of repealed Parts (for example, Part 51 of the Supreme Court Rules) also have cross-references to the relevant UCPR to assist with quick and accurate research. Frequent bulletins provide detailed and timely alerts to all legislative changes. The guide cards within Ritchie's Uniform Civil Procedure NSW include:
