Civil and Business Litigation

Definition:
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 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.
