Civil Litigation, Revised 4th Edition
Instructor Review Copy

Civil Litigation, Revised 4th Edition

Laurence M. Olivo, Mary Ann Kelly
Available

Civil Litigation, Revised 4th Edition prepares law clerk students for litigation as well as to assist lawyers for civil court. The Abigail Boar fact situation guides students from the initial act of hiring a lawyer to the final stage of appealing a trial judgment. This text addresses crucial topics, including the procedure before commencement of proceedings, client management, motions, Documentary Discovery and e-Discovery, trial preparation, statement of account, simplified procedure under Rule 76, and the Commercial List.

The revised 4th edition captures the 2021 amendments to the Rules of Civil Procedure (O Reg 689/20 and O Reg 248/21) and includes updated court forms, court fees, and figures throughout. Ontario Regulation 689/20 (passed January 1, 2021) and Ontario Regulation 248/21 (passed on April 1, 2021) reflect the procedural changes generated by the COVID-19 pandemic.

This revised edition provides law clerk students with a clear and concise guide to the new online procedures in Ontario’s civil litigation process, including e-signature authorizations, electronic document processes, remote affidavit approval, and virtual-hearing requests.

Chapter 1: Overview of a Civil Lawsuit

“This book is well-written and is an excellent resource for students. I recommend to my students that after they graduate they keep it at the office for future reference.”
—Barb Bidner, Fanshawe College



“Having taught Civil Litigation for many years without a support textbook this textbook is a welcome addition to Civil Litigation.”
—Virginia Harwood, Durham College



“This is an excellent learning tool for the students. It’s informative, yet fairly straightforward to get through.… I recommend this text a lot.… I have been teaching Civil Procedures for many years. It took a long time to find the perfect text to teach from ... and I have found it! I tell my students that this is one text they should not get rid of. We use this text everyday in class. Students enjoy all the Emond texts.”
—Sharon Norris, Algonquin College
