What is Civil Litigation?
Let’s Define
Quite simply, Civil Litigation refers to the procedure of dispute resolution between two parties under court proceedings. Such disputes may arise between public bodies or private individuals and involves one person seeking to gain compensation, damages or specific performance from another.
