Hammerschlag’s Commercial Court Handbook, 3rd edition

Proceedings in the Commercial List, the Technology and Construction List, and the Commercial Arbitration List of the Supreme Court of New South Wales together provide for the expeditious disposition of causes arising out of commercial transactions, building and engineering work, and commercial arbitration. Viewed as a whole, these three Lists effectively comprise the commercial court. There is some overlap with the Corporations List and the Real Property List.

This book is intended to be a practical tool for the benefit of those who practise in the commercial jurisdiction. It provides guidance as to the practical operation of the three Lists by covering aspects of procedure not discoverable on the face of the rules or practice directions.

This third edition has been revised throughout and includes the most recent versions of the relevant Practice Notes including new Practice Note SC Gen 23 on the Use of Generative AI.

Drawing on his deep knowledge and experience of case management, the author gives clear explanations on appropriate procedural matters to enable practitioners to further the goal of securing the just, quick and economic disposal of proceedings. The clear and authoritative commentary is essential information for practitioners operating in the commercial jurisdiction.
