Essential Knowledge

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CIVIL LITIGATION

There are five main steps in any given civil lawsuit.

The process

1

Preliminary step

As a preliminary step, you may want advice on what kind of claim you can file in court or whether you have a claim at all. Similarly, you may need guidance on the kind of defence you can file or whether the best strategy should be negotiation and settlement. Do not panic or rush to court before speaking with a member of our team.

2

Filing a complaint (Pleadings)

After that preliminary advice, you may be advised to file your complaint in court. The complaint and the statements or counter-statements that explain your case are known in law as pleadings. Pleadings are best filed by professionals like the team at GSD Law Group who are well-versed in the applicable rules governing that process.

3

Discovery

Discovery refers to the formal process the parties to a lawsuit go through to exchange documents about the witnesses and evidence they will present at trial. This provides the parties with information about the evidence the other side intends to rely on to prove their case in court. At this stage, depositions or sworn, out-of-court oral testimonies may be needed. If this is required, GSD Law Group will help you navigate the process.

4

Trial

At this stage, the parties are required to present the facts of the case to the court. This is a structured process with rules of court and laws stipulating what kind of evidence is acceptable. There are boundaries both parties cannot cross during cross-examination, and when these boundaries are not adhered to, the evidence, even though relevant, may be excluded by the court. You need astute lawyers like our team at GSD Law Group to raise these challenges in a timely manner, or the opportunity to do so may be permanently lost.

5

The Verdict

In civil cases sometimes tried with a jury, the jury ultimately determines who wins or loses and any resulting liability or damages. The jury determines the relevant facts before reaching a final verdict.

At GSD Law Group, we have experienced litigators who will guide you seamlessly through this process and know how to assist you in presenting your story to any jury or judge.
