White Book, 2 Volumes Service | 2026*

The White Book is widely recognised as the most authoritative reference on civil procedure in England and Wales.

It brings together the key legal sources governing the practice and procedures of the High Court and the County Court in civil litigation conducted under the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR). The text is supported by extensive expert commentary that explains the rules in detail. Because of its reliability and comprehensive analysis, the White Book is frequently relied upon in court by judges and legal practitioners more than any other procedural text.

The 2026 edition has been fully updated to incorporate the latest legislative and procedural developments affecting the Civil Procedure Rules. These include updates such as the Civil Procedure (Amendment No. 3) Rules 2025 (SI 2025/1229), which introduced a new section 3 to CPR Part 77 concerning provisions supporting criminal justice. It also includes the 192nd Practice Direction Update, effective 31 December 2025, as well as the 191st Practice Direction Update (PD 51ZH—Access to Public Domain Documents) effective from 1 January 2026. In addition, the edition reflects updates to key court guides, including the Court of Appeal (Civil Division) Guide 2025 (2nd edition), the Senior Courts Costs Office Guide 2025, and revisions to the Chancery Guide 2022 and the Administrative Court & Judicial Review Guide 2025. Important recent cases are also analysed with expert commentary, including Tickle v The BBC, Laidley v Metropolitan Housing Trust Ltd, Google LLC v Robertson, Bellway Homes Ltd v Occupiers of Samuel Garside House, Chief Constable of Sussex Police v XGY, and R (Ayinde) v Haringey LBC.

The White Book 2026 also includes the 12th edition of Costs & Funding in Practice: Questions & Answers, which has been updated to reflect recent developments in costs and funding, relevant case law, and additional questions and answers. This latest edition expands beyond the 2013 Jackson reforms and addresses a broader range of issues relating to costs and funding within the evolving field of civil litigation.
