Fully indexed with bookmarks, therefore easy to navigate from pre-litigation to post-trial stages. Reference is made to Case Notes (in pp 51-67) where more thorough reading of the prescribed cases is provided. Case Notes: with necessary statement of facts, one-liner summary of case significance, and precise reference to paragraph numbers and rule sections covering the following themes: - Overarching obligations - Genuine steps to resolve a dispute - Preliminary discovery - Estoppel - Pleadings - Injunctions - Costs and Calderbank letters - Class action - Case management - Summary judgment Combination of the two Notes gave me H1 in the 2017 Dispute Resolution (LAWS50027, predecessor of Disputes and Ethics, LAWS90140)) exam.
