The new edition of Injunctions Law and Practice provides a comprehensive overview of both the law in relation to injunctions. It is written and laid out in a way that aids quick consultation by a busy practitioner, as well as guiding anyone who wishes to gain a more in-depth understanding of the law and practice in this area. The third edition analyses all the major judgments delivered by the Superior Courts since the last edition in 2015 and identifies material changes to both the Rules of the Superior Courts and practice in the courts.
