This book contains revision for the centrally assessed Civil Litigation & Evidence assessments for the Bar Training Courses (the successors to the BPTC): Barristers Training Course Bar Knowledge Course Bar Practice Course Bar Training Course Bar Vocational Studies It contains explanations of the whole curriculum and syllabus for the assessments in Civil Litigation and Evidence, no more and no less, for the Bar Training Courses from 2020. It follows the Civil Litigation process from pre-action through to trial and beyond, in a chronological structure, and sets exactly into context every assessable CPR, PD and Commentary in the White Book and the assessable paragraphs in The Jackson ADR Handbook (Second Edition, 2016). The beginning of every chapter sets out clearly which elements of the syllabus appear in this chapter with signposting to where the book deals with related areas of the syllabus which do not appear in that chapter. There are also concise summaries of the chapter at the beginning of each chapter to provide an overview of what is covered in it. At the end of each chapter is a road map giving a visual display of how much of the course you have so far covered and how much you still have left to do. You can therefore be fully confident that you have covered the whole of the syllabus without needing to sift out any areas of civil litigation and evidence that are not assessable.
