Ten years after the Civil Procedure Rules changed the landscape of civil justice in England and Wales, this book presents an analysis, by some of the leading judges, academics and practitioners involved in civil litigation in this country, of the effectiveness of the Woolf Reforms, and the challenges facing civil procedure today. With a Foreword by Lord Woolf of Barnes, contributors include some of those involved in the Access to Justice inquiry and the implementation of the CPR, as well as critics of the reforms. The book includes sections on the nature of the CPR as 'a new procedural code', case management, costs and funding, civil evidence (including the changes to expert evidence under the CPR), alternative dispute resolution, the influence of the CPR on reforms in civil law jurisdictions and the effect of EC law on English civil procedure, and empirical evidence for the effectiveness of the CPR.
