Civil Procedure and Courts in the South Pacific

This book is the second edition of Civil Procedures of the South Pacific, originally published by IJALS, as part of the Laws of the South Pacific series. It is primarily intended as a textbook for teachers and students of South Pacific civil procedure, within law degree and professional legal training programmes. It is also designed for use by legal practitioners and others interested in civil procedure in the South Pacific region. The work remains the only published text on Civil Procedure in the South Pacific. The book compares the main rules of procedure that govern the conduct of civil cases in countries of the South Pacific. The text focuses on the rules that apply in the superior courts of Fij, Samoa and Tonga, and on the High Court (Civil Procedure) Rules of 1964, which apply in the superior courts of Kiribati, Tuvalu, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. This edition has further analysis and an additional chapter dealing with procedure governing civil appeals. The text has been updated to include recent developments in the law, including changes to the rules and additional case law.
