The framework of knowledge from Civil Procedure I becomes the foundation for more advanced exploration of the Rules of the Supreme Court 1971 (WA) in Civil Procedure II. The unit also touches upon the procedures and rules of the Court of Appeal. Again, the practical application and ramifications of the rules are illustrated through case-based study of (mostly) recent procedural decisions in the Supreme and District Courts of WA. This unit continues to build on students' knowledge of legal principles related to substantive areas of law gained in earlier units, with a view to equipping them to develop effective strategies for the conduct of litigation in a professional context.
