Blackstone's Civil Practice provides authoritative expert description and analysis of the process of civil litigation in the county courts and in the High Court. Blackstone's Civil Practice 2004 edition will be up to date to mid December 2003. It will deal with all relevant cases newly reported since the 2003 edition.

Blackstone's Civil Practice 2004 will provide the texts of all changes to the Civil Procedure Rules and practice directions, fees orders and relevant statutes, together with the text of the latest edition of the Patents Court Guide. Uniquely, Blackstone's Civil Practice sets out the law on civil procedure in a chapter by chapter narrative which follow the course of proceedings from pre-action protocols to enforcement of judgments. These chapters are supported by clearly laid out appendices containing a scrupulously edited complete text of the Civil Procedure Rules and Practice Directions, linked back to the commentary, as well as selected legislation relating to civil procedure and jurisdiction. The treatment of the litigation process in general is followed by 17 chapters on important topics of civil law encountered particularly in the day-to-day work of the county courts: insolvency and companies; landlord and tenant and possession proceedings; harassment; sale of goods and consumer credit.
