Civil Fraud: Law, Practice, and Procedure is intended to be the first stop for anyone working on a civil fraud case. It takes a thorough approach to the issue, combining in-depth legal analysis with a solidly practical approach.

The authors focus throughout on the real-life scenarios which litigants in this field routinely experience and give useful counsel on the complicated practical and procedural concerns which might emerge.

The book opens with a study of frequent factual and legal issues in a fraud case, which can be difficult to traverse even for the most experienced litigators. The rest of the essay explores the legal, practical, and procedural difficulties that arise from such situations.

The authors bring together the different areas of the law that come under the title "fraud," from substantive causes of action – common law, restitutionary and equitable claims, and claims emerging under legislation – to remedies, building on a wealth of experience in litigating fraud cases. It covers the complete range of procedural swords and shields available in fraud action, including freezing orders, proprietary and other injunctions, search warrants, receivership, ancillary orders, and the increasingly popular contempt jurisdiction.

The First Supplement completely updates the law since the First Edition, taking into account important decisions made in cases like Convoy Collateral v. Broad Idea in the Privy Council (jurisprudential basis for freezing and Chabra injunctions), Racing Partnership in the Court of Appeal (illegal means conspiracy), Wood v. Commercial First in the Court of Appeal (bribery and secret commissions), and Rembrandt in the Court of Appeal (test for inducement in deceit), as well as the new Supreme Court precedent.
