- Bernard Cairns and Bridget Cullen Mandikos, experienced and committed authors, will continue to provide authoritative commentary and annotations to the Uniform Civil Procedure Rules 1999 (UCPR).

- Dr John Forbes brings his extensive authority and  knowledge of evidence law in  Queensland with annotations to the Evidence Act 1977 and Chapter 11 of the UCPR.

- New contributors, David Chesterman and Justin Carter, both of the Queensland Bar, will bring practical insight and analysis on the operation of the UCPR.

 New structure
