Resolving disputes through the court system

Litigation

What is litigation?

When disputes can’t be resolved through negotiation, litigation may be the right option for you. It’s a formal way to resolve disputes by presenting your case to a judge or court who makes a legally binding decision.

 How we can support:

We’ll support and guide you at every stage, from preparing and filing your case to presenting arguments before a judge or court. We aim to keep you informed and focused on the best outcome for your situation.

The seven steps of Litigation

  1. Pre-action – Before filing a claim, you can explore settlement options and attempt to resolve the dispute through informal discussions. We’ll help you gather evidence and assess your position.
  2. Pleadings – This is where you start the claim, each party clearly outlines their arguments and legal grounds for their position.
  3. Directions – The court manages the progression of your case, setting deadlines and ensures both parties are prepared for the next steps heading towards resolution.
  4. Trial – Both parties present their evidence and arguments before a judge or jury, who then reach a decision on what they’ve heard.
  5. Appeals (Judicial Review) – If there has been a legal error, an appeal can be made to a higher court for review and reconsideration.
  6. Judgement – The judge issues their final ruling which determines the outcome of the case and the rights and obligations of each party.
  7. CostsA formal assessment of costs is made. The successful party may be able to claim some legal costs from the unsuccessful party.
