Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph contains an all-encompassing analysis of civil procedure in Cyprus. After an informative general introduction, the book proceeds to an in-depth discussion of the sources and instruments of civil procedure law, the judicial organization, the bar association, jurisdictional bases, the procedure of actions and claims, potential defences, and sanctions on procedural irregularities.
It then proceeds to an analysis of civil proceedings, both at first instance and at Supreme Court level, as well as incidents, including interim orders, legal aid and legal costs. It then contains an assessment of particular proceedings, as well as evidence, including admissibility, administration of evidence and burden of proof. It also covers enforcement of judgments, as well as ADR, both arbitration and mediation. The issues are all treated to a degree of depth that will prove useful in nearly any situation likely to arise in legal practice.
The book is primarily designed to assist academics, researchers, judges, practicing lawyers, and students, who find themselves having to apply civil procedure rules or otherwise handling cases connected with Cyprus. It will also be of great value to students and practitioners as a quick guide and easy-to-use practical resource in the field, and especially to academicians and researchers engaged in comparative studies by providing the necessary material of civil procedure law. Written by one of the leading experts in the field, this is the first time that a comprehensive monograph about civil procedure has been published in the English language.
The monograph is available in e-book format at the IEL/Kluwer Law Online website.
