Chapter five is an introduction to admiralty jurisdiction. It analyzes the difference between action in personam and action in rem, the manner of service in action in rem, and the main contents of two maritime conventions to which the United Kingdom is a party. It also discusses the effects of Council Regulation (EC) No 44/2001, the Brussels convention and the Lugano convention as well as Civil Jurisdiction and Judgment Act 1982 to admiralty action in rem.
　　Chapter six is about jurisdictions over matrimonial causes and succession matters. It expounds jurisdictions over matrimonial causes (including the divorce, nullity and judicial separation, presumption of death and dissolution of marriage, declarations of status, financial relief, and polygamous marriages), family disputes (including the guardianship and custody, adoption, legitimacy, legitimation and mental disorder) as well as succession matters (including administration of estates and succession).
　　Chapter seven is about jurisdictions over bankruptcy and winding-up. If a case falls within the scope of Council Regulation (EC) No 1346/2000 of 29 May 2000 on insolvency proceedings, whether English courts have jurisdiction depends on it. Otherwise, the jurisdiction of English courts depends on the insolvency act of England.
　　Chapter eight is about service of process, challenging jurisdiction and practicing forum shopping. The rules for the service of process have been amended by the Civil Procedure Rules, with the result that much of the former law has been altered. If a claim form has been served, but the defendant wishes to challenge the propriety of service or the existence of jurisdiction over him, the proceedings is found in Civil Procedure Rules Part 11. The final major jurisdictional tactic is that of obtaining a declaration in relation to the liability the opponent is seeking to establish by proceedings in another court.
　　Chapter nine is about interim remedies and protective measures. It expounds the interim remedies available from an English court and the procedure acquiring them, and the jurisdiction of English courts to grant interim remedies.
