What Is Civil Litigation?

Civil litigation is the legal term used to describe the legal process applied when two parties go to court for non-criminal matters. It covers an expansive range of legal disputes between two or more parties regarding civil matters. Examples of legal disputes it covers include property disagreements and breaches of contract, among many more.

The civil litigation process:

• The Investigation: To begin, the litigator will conduct an initial investigation, reviewing case information to see whether the lawsuit will hold up in a court of law.
  
  
• The Pleadings: The plaintiff and the defendant will then submit initial litigation papers, known as the “pleadings.” First, the plaintiff will file a Statement of Claim, setting out the basis of the lawsuit based on the plaintiff’s version of events. After submitting a Statement of Claim, the plaintiff has one year to serve the Statement of Claim to the defendant. The defendant will then have to submit a Statement of Defence and serve the plaintiff with it before a pre-determined date.
  
  
• The Pre-Trial: Prior to the trial, both parties will gather information on each other and from third parties to support their case. During this stage, the plaintiff and defendant will have to submit an Affidavit of Records listing all documents relevant to the case, as well as take up questionings, undertakings, and expert and medical examinations. If both parties agree to a settlement, the case can be resolved before going to trial.
  
  
• The Trial: The trial begins with the plaintiff presenting their case and evidence supporting it. Counsel on both sides will present their version of events, and once all witnesses have testified, the judge will deliver their verdict.
  
  
• Appeals (if applicable): Following the trial and settlement, a party may file an appeal if unsatisfied with the result. The party in question will then request a higher court (called the appellate court) to review the trial proceedings to affirm or reject the result. Each party will have to present their arguments in briefs to the appellate court, which will then make a decision based on whether they find any legal errors in the previous court’s proceedings. If the appellate court finds an error, they can reverse the verdict or order a new court trial. The appeal process can take a year or longer.

Verhaeghe Law Office works closely with you through every stage of the litigation process to ensure our services meet your needs. We offer comprehensive legal solutions for a wide range of litigation matters, and we work with your best interests at heart. Whether that means reaching a deal in mediation or going to trial, we’ll be there every step of the way to defend your best interests.

What Is the Role of a Civil Lawyer?

Civil lawyers specializing in litigation are known as litigators. They are trained in helping their clients work through non-criminal legal disagreements and disputes. Furthermore, they help resolve conflicts that involve money, property, fraud, and contracts. A litigator can work with two parties or a group of parties involved in a disagreement and has the flexibility to represent either the plaintiffs or the defendants in civil lawsuits.

With respect to protecting your money or a contract between you and another party, you want to make sure to partner with a reputable lawyer to represent your best interest. When it comes to your money, it's always best to hire someone specializing in civil lawsuits – and that's where we come in.
