Civil Litigation – Understanding the Process

Legal support in civil disputes, breach of contract, property claims, and torts.

When disputes arise that do not involve criminal conduct, they are typically resolved through civil litigation. In these cases, the party initiating the claim—the plaintiff—seeks compensation or another legal remedy from the opposing party, called the defendant.

Disputes may be settled through negotiation, mediation, or by presenting the matter before a court. Such cases can arise between individuals, companies, government bodies, or any combination of these.

In a civil trial, the standard of proof differs from criminal law:

  • Criminal cases require proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

  • Civil matters are decided on the preponderance of evidence—meaning the court rules in favor of the side whose claims are more likely to be true, supported by stronger and more credible evidence.
