Litigation provides a process for an individual or organization to sue another for alleged wrongdoings and to resolve the dispute when the parties can’t reach an agreement on their own.
The litigation process and decisions made during it follow the rules of the law to ensure a fair outcome.
The litigation process involves several steps, including pre-litigation work to investigate the facts of the dispute, preparing a legal argument, negotiating a settlement, or conducting a trial, and appeals if needed.
COURT
While litigation can involve going to trial, most cases are resolved out of court.
If you are considering filing a lawsuit, consider consulting with a lawyer familiar with your situation. They can help guide you on your options and whether litigation or other dispute resolution approaches like mediation or arbitration would be best. As well, your case may be appropriate for the Small Claims court process, or resort to the superior Court of King’s Bench for Saskatchewan may be necessary. Even there, different procedures are available which may streamline resolution of your case.
