Cartea "Small Claims in the County Courts in England and Wales The Bargain Basement of Civil Justice (Hardback)"

ACAA |T General Academic
The small claims procedure is now seen as a convenient way of tackling the current crisis in civil justice and with a massive increase in the small claims limit from ?1,000 to ?3,000 small claims is big judicial business. This book reports on the most extensive research on small claims procedures ever conducted in this country. The author had privileged access to the district judges who conduct claim hearings, and the book is the first to include lengthy extracts from tape recorded interviews conducted with them. It also includes discussion of interviews with litigants, including many who struggled to gain payment of court judgements. This is a compelling book which is a welcome addition to the Socio-Legal Studies series.
