Frequently asked questions.
What is civil litigation?
Civil litigation refers to the process where two or more parties seek legal remedies for disputes not related to criminal matters. It encompasses a wide range of disputes, from personal injury claims to contract disputes and property disputes.
How does the civil litigation process begin in Canada?
Typically, civil litigation starts when one party (the plaintiff) files a statement of claim or notice of civil claim against another party (the defendant) in a provincial court. This document outlines the reasons for the lawsuit and the remedies sought.
How long does a civil lawsuit take in Canada?
The duration of a civil lawsuit can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the case, the number of parties involved, the court’s schedule, and the strategies of the parties involved. It can range from several months for simpler matters to several years for more complex disputes.
What is alternative dispute resolution (ADR)?
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to methods used to resolve disputes outside of the traditional court system. Common ADR methods in Canada include mediation, where a neutral third party helps the parties reach a mutual agreement, and arbitration, where a third party makes a binding decision based on the presented evidence.
Are there any limits on the amount I can claim in small claims court?
Yes, there are limits to the amount one can claim in small claims court, and these vary by province. For example, in Ontario, as of my last update in 2021, the limit was $35,000. However, this amount may have changed, so it’s essential to check the current limits in the relevant province.
