McGechan on Procedure is New Zealand’s leading and most-cited text on civil procedure.

McGechan focuses on civil procedure in the High Court, Court of Appeal and Supreme Court. The work takes a practical approach, placing the technical rules of superior Court procedure in their practical and jurisdictional context. (Find out more about its authors.)

McGechan on Procedure is designed as a legal practitioner’s manual, rather than a reference book.

The practical focus is found throughout, with McGechan structured for accessibility: current consolidated legislation, with accompanying section-by-section and rule-by-rule commentary, set out in headed paragraphs. Extensive cross-references allow easy access to related rules and provisions.
