Overview

Eckard's Principles of Civil Procedure in the Magistrates' Courts considers the law of civil procedure in the magistrates' courts. The work provides a comprehensive and up-to-date overview and analysis of civil procedural law in the magistrates' courts and includes numerous illustrative examples of pleadings and notices as well as various prescribed forms relevant to proceedings. The content of this edition is presented in well-organised chapters, which highlight features of practical importance to scholars and the legal profession. It provides extensive coverage of complex issues and new material. Eckard's is of particular interest and benefit to legal practitioners, including advocates and candidate attorneys, as well as to law students and academic staff. This publication is long overdue and fills a legal void.
