This second edition addresses recent developments in the subject of civil litigation, in particular the new Civil Procedure Rules now in force in Jamaica and the Eastern Caribbean States, and in draft form in Barbados.

Recent Caribbean case law on both the Rules of the Supreme Court and the Civil Procedure Rules, together with English decisions and literature on the equivalent English Rules, are examined. In addition, a number of forms and precedents have been included, in order to illustrate the more common steps in the litigation process.
