It is a companion to the flagship McGechan on Procedure and covers the District Court and specialist Tribunals civil procedure jurisdiction. Originally published as District Courts Procedure, this title was reissued in 2009 as Civil Procedure: District Courts & Tribunals.

This product is the most comprehensive authority available for civil litigation practitioners on the District Court and selected specialist Tribunals. It provides consolidated legislation accompanied by practical and insightful section-by-section and rule-by-rule commentary, including case law analysis.

There are practice guides on drafting pleadings; the judicial settlement conference; costs and disbursements; and proceedings in specialist areas such as the Harassment Act 1997 and Construction Contracts Act 2002. The specialist Tribunal chapters are grouped for convenience under the headings “Dispute Resolution/Adjudication”, “Administrative Review” and “Occupation/Industry”.
