It involves commencing proceedings in court to resolve a dispute. The first stage usually involves what is known as pleadings. Pleadings are a formal way to tell the court and the other party your story. The plaintiff will file at court a statement of claim and the defendant a defence. After that occurs, often a process known as discovery occurs. During this stage, each party must disclose to the other all documentation they have relevant to the matter. The parties are then usually directed to a court-based mediation. If the matter is still not resolved, it will proceed to a trial-based resolution.
If you have received court proceedings or some other notification indicating you are being sued, it is important to get legal advice so you can understand your rights and obligations. Time is of the essence because you usually only have a limited amount of time to respond. If you do not file a response in time, the other party may obtain judgment against you. Our team has proven success in resolving disputes quickly and easily in order to achieve the best outcomes for you.
