Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between civil litigation, arbitration and mediation?
- Civil litigation takes place in court and ends with a binding judgment. Mediation is a voluntary process in which a neutral third party helps the parties reach an agreement. Arbitration is conducted outside court before an agreed arbitrator. Each has advantages depending on the circumstances.
- What is an injunction and when is one sought?
- An injunction is a temporary order requiring the opposing party to refrain from a specific action until the case is decided. It is sought when there is concern about irreversible harm — for example, the sale of a disputed asset, breach of a confidentiality agreement, or ongoing infringement of rights.
- How long does a court proceeding take?
- The duration depends on the complexity of the case and the conduct of the parties. Simple claims may conclude within one to two years; complex cases can take longer. In many cases it is possible to reach a settlement outside court in a shorter timeframe.
- Who pays legal costs?
- The court typically orders the losing party to pay legal costs, but the amount is at the court's discretion and does not necessarily cover all attorney's fees in full.
- Can I sue even without a written contract?
- Yes. An oral agreement is as binding as a written one, though it is harder to prove its terms. The court will consider evidence such as correspondence, witness testimony and payments made.
