Litigation & Dispute Resolution
When parties struggle to come to a mutually satisfactory consensus, they may engage the court and its judgement to settle the dispute.
- This process is referred to as litigation, and may be known more commonly as suing, or taking legal action against someone in court. It can also be pursued under a variety of contexts, and can be split into civil and criminal categories.
- Plainly speaking, civil law refers to private law, which usually involves only private disputes between individuals or legal entities; while in criminal law, the legal action is brought on by the state against an individual for an act that is considered a crime. Criminal litigation would point directly to a trial in criminal court.
- Commercial disputes, on the other hand, would refer to a legal dispute between businesses and companies. This could occur in any industry over matters such as breach of contract, employment disputes, product liability claims and more.
