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 all recent developments including the new Solicitors’ Code of Conduct 2007 and the key decision on the importance of accurate costs estimates in Mastercigars Ltd v Withers LLP. The impact of s 13 of the Fraud Act 2006 on the privilege against self-incrimination with reference to the recent case of Kensington International v Congo and Vitol has been covered, and new checklists, summaries and an example of a statutory demand have been added.
