In 1607 captain henry hudson left europe to search for the famous north-west passage. he didn't find it, because it didn't exist, but he reached a river to which he gave his name. interested by the stories told them by the captain on his return, the dutch sent other boats to take possession of the land discovered by hudson and gave it the name 'new netherland'. two men dominate the history of this colony. the first bought the island of manhattan from the indians in 1626. the second arrived in 1647 as governor of new amsterdam, the capital of new netherland. in 1664 this territory was taken over by the english and they changed the name of new amsterdam to new york. new york is one of the largest cities in the world. its population is over 11 million people. new york is an industrial and cultural centre of the country. most business is centred in manhattan island. the whole area is very small, that's why the skyscrapers were invented in new york and, especially, in wall street. wall street is a narrow street with big houses, but it is well known all over the world as the busiest street in the usa. people do business there. there are two more world-famous streets — broadway and fifth avenue. broadway is the centre of the theatres and night life. it is known as the great white way because of the electric signs which turn night into day. it is the city that never goes to sleep. buses and subway run all night. there are many drugstores and restaurants which never close their doors. there are cinemas with films that start at midnight. fifth avenue is the great shopping, hotel, and club avenue. if you go along this avenue, you come to harlem, where the black people of new york live, the coloured workers, teachers, doctors and musicians. new york is the largest port in america. more than half the trade of the united states goes through this city. there are many places of interest in new york. they are: the statue of liberty, the united nations building, empire state building, columbia university, city hall, new york public library and others

Соперничающая культура тяжбы означала, что ненужные задержки и преднамеренное увеличивание расходов часто использовались в качестве тактики, чтобы победить другую сторону. во многих типах споров дорогие свидетели-эксперты обычно производились каждой стороной. вместо того, чтобы суду решить техническую проблему, эти эксперты были замечены как на стороне одной или других из сторон и были подвергнуты пристрастному давлению адвокатами другой стороны. доклад лорда вульфа завершился тем, что гражданское судопроизводство было в состоянии кризиса, и рекомендации были сделаны для уборки изменений. поэтому, civil procedure rules (cpr) были предписаны в 1998 улучшить доступ к справедливости, делая процессуальные действия более дешевыми, более быстрыми, и легче понимались не адвокатами
