Litigation

What is Litigation?

Litigation is comprised of a lawsuit or a legal contest in a court of justice for the purpose of enforcing a right.

The parties in such a law suit include:

• a plaintiff who claims to have received damages from and seeks a legal or equitable remedy from

• a defendant who is required to respond to the plaintiff’s complaints.

If the plaintiff is successful, a judgment is awarded in his favour.

That judgment may include court orders, such as:

• awarding damages

• enforcing rights

• imposing injunctions

If the defendant is successful, he/she will be exonerated and perhaps awarded the costs of the action against the plaintiff.

Litigation may involve resolving courtroom disputes between individuals OR business entities.
