Documentary Evidence

Civil litigation has changed beyond recognition with the advent of photocopiers, telexes, fax machines and computers. Perhaps the most significant feature of this development is the increasing importance of documentary evidence. The array of new procedures existing in this field can be confusing. "Documentary Evidence" will help readers master the law and practice in this fast changing, dynamic area of law. Amongst the many changes, the section on Anton Piller has been completely rewritten to reflect the impact on procedure of the "Universal Thermosensors v Hibben" case. The book also instructs the reader in recent developments in civil litigation in the high court for the collection and use of documentary evidence; informs readers of the spate of new cases on privilege of self-incrimination, including "AT & T Istel v Tully"; tackles practical problems you may face when dealing with even the most complex of commercial trials; provides specimen affidavits, summonses and court orders.
