The next edition of the Green Book will be published by LexisNexis on 31 March.

The Civil Court Practice 2023 (the Green Book) is the authority on jurisdiction and procedure in the civil courts of England and Wales, for judges, practitioners and litigants-in-person. This latest edition includes many updates, including changes to the qualified one-way costs shifting (QOCS) regime.

This year’s Green Book is the first to be published under the watch of intellectual property and commercial litigator Jason Raeburn, the new general editor and a partner at Paul Hastings.

Raeburn writes in the preface that the ability of litigants to readily access data and artificial intelligence tools ‘marks what I think will represent an acceleration in changes to civil court practice, fundamentally altering the way in which cases are managed and litigated in the not too distant future’.
