Discovery Law is a comprehensive book covering discovery and e-discovery law in Ireland. It deals with the procedure and legal principles arising and covers the new proposals, production of documents, recommended from the Administration of Civil Justice Review Report and e-discovery as well as alternative methods to discovery. It deals with the issue of non-party discovery for the first time.

The potential wide ranging implications of the Administration of Civil Justice Review Report in Ireland have not been considered by any text thus far in Ireland. It recommends a complete overhaul of the existing discovery process and urges a 'culture change'. The proposed 'Production of Documents' has not been discussed in any text to date and this text analyses the proposed changes in detail including the draft court rules which are included in the Review. The issue of non-party discovery, as laid out in a recent High Court case, will be dealt with for the first time in this jurisdiction.

The textbook includes analysis of discovery in all aspects of civil litigation to include personal injury, family law, multi-party litigation, judicial review and pre-action discovery, to name but a few areas. It analyses the growth of e-discovery and the enforcement of discovery as well as costs and adjudication of such costs. It is a practical must-have book for all practitioners navigating cases in the lower and superior courts in Ireland.
