Understanding Litigation - Cubelaw

Litigation simply means the process of taking some legal action. If you live in British Columbia and are encountering any dispute in your personal or professional life, Cube Law’s litigation lawyers will help you out.

Litigation can be civil or commercial. While civil litigation involves matters related to people’s personal lives, commercial litigation is all about business-related matters.

Understanding litigation in British Columbia is important before you seek our legal help. This will keep you informed throughout the process.

Here are the key stages of a standard civil litigation process:

Assessment

Any litigation starts with a claim. An individual or an institution files a claim regarding the dispute at hand. This claim is assessed by litigation lawyers before taking any further action. If you are the claimant, you will then need to file a notice of claim.

Discovery

The discovery process starts after the claimant makes their claim. A lot of evidence can be gathered here as all the parties involve documents and other related resources supporting their respective causes. The discovery process may last for a few days or a few months, depending on the case’s complexity.

Resolution

This is the final stage of any litigation process. Your litigation lawyer will support you and the other party will have their own lawyer on board. Lawyers often mediate and try to resolve the matter before it goes to trial. If things are beyond resolution, the trial becomes inevitable. Your lawyer will represent you in court and work in your best interest. This can be a pretty long process, one of the key reasons why your lawyer will prefer mediation over trial.

Once the trial is over, all parties involved will be required to adhere to the judgement received.
