This book, the first of its kind on Anglophone Cameroon, brings
significant local context into the practice of law particularly at a
juncture when civil practice has been radically altered by Cameroon's
ongoing effort at harmonization of both the substantive and procedural
laws applicable in the courts. The book covers a wide spectrum of topics
including: the commencement of civil actions, jurisdiction, simplified
recovery procedures and measures of execution, provisional execution and
stay of execution. It provides a detailed analysis of the relevant rules
of court applicable in both the high court and court of appeal. One of
its major strengths lies in its use of recent cases to demonstrate the
way Cameroonian judges have dealt with local procedural laws, as well as
how the differences between Cameroonian indigenous rules of practice and
those imported particularly from Nigeria and England are reconciled.
