Obtain assistance with civil litigation

When a dispute arises between private parties (individuals or legal entities), it is referred to as a civil dispute. As with any dispute, it is advisable to try to reach an agreement with the parties concerned, wherever possible. If this is not possible, then proceedings must be brought before the civil judicial authorities.

There are various civil authorities, with jurisdiction depending on the matter in question, the people involved and their claims, or the urgency of the situation. In most cases, proceedings are initiated by filing a request for conciliation, which enables a hearing to take place at which a judge attempts to bring the parties to a settlement of their dispute. If this does not work, a full procedure takes place, at the end of which a judgment is handed down. In principle, it is possible to oppose the judgment by lodging an appeal or recourse with a higher court.

Generally speaking, it is important to determine precisely which judicial authority is competent to deal with a dispute. It is also essential to act early enough to preserve the applicable legal time limits and avoid prescription.
