Civil litigation, i.e. civil court action, is the method of resolving disputes or claims between individuals, companies, local authorities and government departments by court proceedings.

Civil Court action is now regarded as the last resort. Those involved in a dispute are expected to have followed certain procedures before starting a court claim (“pre action protocols”). Also, the parties are required to consider alternative dispute resolution ("ADR"). We can attempt a negotiated resolution to your dispute, but if that is not possible, then we will prepare and issue court action and take your case through to trial. We offer "No Win No Fee" arrangements.

Mainly litigation falls into two categories. One is based on contract, and the other is based on a civil wrong caused by one party to another either deliberately or negligently. The range of disputes based on contract can vary from substantial commercial disputes to wide ranging consumer disputes such as the purchase of a defective item or a claim arising as as a result of poor workmanship.

Generally, as costs are not usually recoverable where the claim is worth £5,000 or less, it should usually be pursued 'in person' in the small claims court. We could, however, for an agreed fee, prepare the documentation to start the case off and advise you about the steps to take along the way.

Civil wrongs include cases of personal injury and damage to property and reputation - Landlord and Tenant disputes are also a major cause of court actions.

If you are involved in a dispute with another individual or company we can advise you on your chances of success and the possible value of your claim - see ways of funding a claim.
