Much time and attention has been devoted to considering the relative minutiae of the conduct of proceedings in the Commercial Court since the establishment of the Commercial Court Long Trials Working Party over two years ago. The result is the now amended Commercial Court Guide – the Admiralty and Commercial Courts Guide (8th edition, 2009), published on 18 May, 2009.
