Civil Litigation Calgary

What is Civil Litigation?

The process of resolving a dispute through the legal system is referred to as litigation. In general, civil litigation law refers to any legal dispute that does not involve a criminal allegation. Civil litigation cases might be about anything that develops between two parties. The court will consider cases including contract violations, personal injury lawsuits and employment issues. A civil litigator will be involved in more than just making legal arguments in court. The creation of a court case during litigation also entails a number of related procedures, such as document writing, due diligence, examinations for discovery, and many more. While the procedure may differ from province to province, the systems are largely the same.
