LAWS12057 Civil Procedure A

Course details

In this course students are introduced to civil procedure. Civil procedure is the body of law that sets out the rules and standards that courts follow when adjudicating civil lawsuits (as opposed to procedures in criminal law matters). These rules govern how a lawsuit or case may be commenced, what kind of service of process (if any) is required, the types of pleadings or statements of case, motions or applications, and orders allowed in civil cases, the timing and manner of depositions and discovery or disclosure, the conduct of trials, the process for judgment, various available remedies, and how the courts and clerks must function. This course provides an introduction to the practicalities of bringing or defending an action brought before the Supreme, District or Magistrates' Courts in Queensland.
