Civil Disputes & Litigation
Civil litigation is the process of dispute resolution between members of a community through the court system. Civil law grants individuals the right to sue for compensation or for specific action in matters such as breach of contract, defamation and negligence.
If you feel that you’ve been wronged but it’s not a criminal matter to be dealt with by the Police then you may be able to commence a lawsuit against someone. The kinds of disputes that are dealt with under civil law include disputes between:-
Neighbours
Customers and suppliers
Business partners
Landlords and tenants
Buyers and sellers of property
Homeowners and builders
Employees and employers
Executors or beneficiaries in deceased estates
Owners of copyrights and patents
Creditors and debtors
Different kinds of legal cases have different time limitations imposed so it’s important that you seek legal advice quickly to find out if you can commence legal proceedings.
