Overview

At its heart, litigation is the act of resolving a dispute in public court. Typically, the matter is resolved when one party is ordered by the court to take certain actions or make compensating payments to the other, or when the court decides the Claimant has no recourse against the Defendant. There are two main categories of litigation – commercial and civil litigation. Commercial covers business disputes whereas civil litigation is a generic terms covering all areas of litigation and includes individuals.

Procedurally speaking, both types of litigation are very similar. Both the Claimant and the defendant appoint a solicitor to represent them and conduct their case. That solicitor investigates the matter, and gives them advice on how to proceed. Often, the solicitor will advise their client that it is better to seek a compromise rather than to have the matter resolved fully at court, but many times the parties instruct their solicitor to take the matter to trial. 

Civil Litigation

In civil litigation, the dispute is dispute between people, not a business or corporate entity. Usually, the Claimant wants payment for a wrong that has been done to them by the defendant (compensation), or for the defendant to be ordered by the court to do something specific to make the matter right. 

Civil litigation claims are often fairly simple in the small claims court and can be resolved relatively quickly, even if they do go before a court.

Commercial Litigation

Commercial litigation is ordinarily between two businesses or between an individual and a business. It includes any claim for resolving a dispute that arises in a ‘business context’. This might be a claim between a business and another business with which it has a contract, between a business and an individual, or between a shareholder and a company.

Commercial litigation can be a long, complicated process. Many cases take a long time resolved.
