This work has evolved from the Civil Procedure Guide last published in 1996. It is not specific to any one province or rule but contains cases from all over common-law Canada (its provinces and territories) and England. It is the only Canadian text on civil procedure to achieve this.
Features
- Decisions from the Supreme Court of Canada and Privy Council (on appeal from everywhere) are here, many not found elsewhere.
- Lists over 39,000 Canadian, British and Commonwealth judgments referencing 80,000 or more citations from texts, and articles published in those jurisdictions.
- The book achieves twin aims: a quick reference and data for research.
- 82 chapters in 5 volumes are arranged logically, topic by topic in a textbook format providing explanation and practical application of each topic. The authorities are relegated to footnotes.
- There is authority for and against many propositions in civil procedure. This book warns you which cases disagree and which seem questionable.
- Alternate citations for the same judgment are provided to help when only one database or set of reports is available. Often several different judgments have the same name; only parallel cites let you tell them apart.
- The Table of Cases allows instant access to a case on point providing full relevant discussion while naming other cases on the same topic. The style is terse with case citations grouped around propositions of law, not individual cases.
- A general and very detailed Table of Contents is found in each volume.
- A full comprehensive index.
