Frequently Asked Questions
What types of disputes fall under civil litigation?
Civil litigation encompasses a wide range of disputes between individuals, businesses or other entities. Common examples include contract breaches, property disagreements, personal injury claims and defamation cases. These matters are handled in civil courts and do not involve criminal charges.
The primary aim of civil litigation is to resolve conflicts and determine a fair outcome, often through compensation or other legal remedies.
How does the civil litigation process work?
The civil litigation process typically begins with one party filing a claim in court, outlining the dispute and the remedy sought. The opposing party then responds, and the case moves through stages such as discovery, where the parties exchange evidence. Many cases are resolved through negotiation or mediation before reaching trial. If a trial is necessary, both parties present their arguments and a judge or jury delivers a decision.
Is it possible to resolve a civil dispute without going to court?
Yes, many civil disputes are resolved through alternative methods such as negotiation, mediation or arbitration. These approaches can save time and costs compared to court proceedings while preserving relationships between the parties. Mediation involves a neutral third party facilitating discussions to reach a mutually acceptable agreement, while arbitration involves a binding decision from an arbitrator.
Legal advice can help you determine the most appropriate resolution for your specific situation and help to ensure your rights are protected while working toward a fair outcome.
