Documentary Evidence is a detailed guide on disclosure requirements under the law. It combines thorough legal analysis with straightforward, practical guidance, guiding practitioners through all of the problems that may emerge during a case in chronological sequence and teaching them when and how to respond at each point.

This revised version of a classic text that is often used in court helps readers to understand the rules in light of contemporary case law.

  • From pre-action through witness statements and expert reports, this firm handles disclosure at every step of a lawsuit.
  • Provides guidance on how to acquire, evaluate, and handle the necessary documentation.
  • The practicalities of CPR disclosure are discussed.
  • Shows how to raise and defeat the various disclosure defences.
  • Sets forth the rights of firms, trusts, partners, receivers, and agents to access records kept by them, as well as access to court papers.
  • What to Do If Your Disclosure Obligations Aren't Met
  • It goes through all there is to know about privilege, including how to claim and waive it.
  • Discusses how to handle international aspects of a case, such as witnesses who are located outside of the jurisdiction or documentary orders issued against overseas organisations.
  • The new r.31.5, which asks the court to pick a disclosure menu, considers the effect of the Jackson revisions.
  • Examines the Supreme Court judgement in Prudential v Pandolfo, a series of key rulings in the Tchenguiz dispute, and a key study on non-party disclosure in Constantin Medien AG v Ecclestone.
  • In light of recent EU and ECHR judgements, the chapters on self-incrimination and limited and implied waiver have been considerably updated.
