The first practical guide to the procedural reforms due to be implemented in April 2013, this essential text explains the wide-ranging recommendations made by Sir Rupert Jackson in his Review of Civil Litigation Costs (MoJ, 2009) dealing with the costs of civil litigation. These changes have been described by Law Society president Lucy Scott-Moncrieff as representing ''the most significant change to the civil justice system since the Woolf reforms in 1999''. Following the recommendations in the Review, the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 was passed and other changes will be implemented through changes to the Civil Procedure Rules and Practice Directions. This is a clear and practical commentary on these extensive reforms, providing valuable guidance and detail on how the changes will operate in practice. It includes useful tables detailing the changes for ease of access and well as selected appendices with the relevant material practitioners will need to refer to.

The Jackson ADR Handbook was created following recommendations by Lord Justice Jackson for an authoritative handbook for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR). The first edition, written in collaboration with a specialist editorial advisory board, laid a strong foundation as an essential guide to ADR, and received judicial endorsement in the Court of Appeal and the Technology and Construction Court. The second edition built upon that success, becoming a set text with the Bar Standards Board. This fully revised third edition integrates a range of important new case law, locates ADR within an increasingly digital landscape, and addresses calls from within the judiciary for ADR to be incorporated at all stages of the dispute resolution process.Designed in a concise, user-friendly format, the text provides an in-depth overview of the options and principles of ADR, before looking at five focused areas: the interplay between ADR, CPR, and litigation; negotiation; mediation; recording and enforcing settlement; and other ADR options including the international perspective. Additional materials such as mediation providers, specimen documents, precedents, and practice tips are available on a companion website at www.oup.com/ADR3e.

The Jackson ADR Handbook^r was written to fulfil a recommendation by Lord Justice Jackson that there should be an authoritative handbook on alternative dispute resolution (ADR). The first edition, published in 2013, laid a strong foundation as an authoritative guide to ADR, receiving judicial endorsement from the Court of Appeal. Subsequent editions built upon that success, becoming a syllabus text prescribed by the Bar Standards Board. The use of ADR continues to be embedded in dispute resolution in England and Wales, with the Master of the Rolls and the Ministry of Justice implementing reforms that place the use of ADR alongside litigation. This revised fourth edition integrates important new case law, including the landmark case of Churchill v Merthyr Tydfil Borough Council [2023], in which the Court of Appeal decided a court can order parties to engage in a non-court based dispute resolution process, provided the right to a trial remains. Key changes in court rules and pre-action protocols are also covered.Designed with a concise, user-friendly format, the text provides an in-depth overview of the options and principles for ADR, placing them firmly within the context of litigation, and looking in detail at the relevant court rules and legal principles, such as privacy and legal professional privilege, as well as practical topics such as how to prepare for and what happens during mediation and recording and enforcing settlements.
