| Civil litigation covers both
commercial and private clients in many types of dispute. We
regularly act in County Court, High Court and Appeal Court
proceedings, and have experience before Arbitration,
Tribunals and the Official Referee. With the change in the
Court rules that came into effect in April 1999, procedures
have been put in place which mean that a case has to be
fully investigated before an action is begun in Court. In
addition, the use of mediation and alternative dispute
resolution means that it is no longer certain that a case
will end in Court.
Under these new rules, we pride ourselves on being able
to offer an objective assessment of your problems; to look
at the costs of bringing an action and to decide if, on a
commercial basis, it is worthwhile. In other words, we give
you all the 'pros and cons' so that you can make an informed
decision as to whether or not to go ahead. |
