Frequently Asked Questions
The main types are negotiation, mediation, arbitration, and litigation.
Litigation is the process of taking a legal dispute to court.
Generally, self-represented litigants can claim some costs, but often not the full amount they would have been able to recover if represented by a lawyer.
Civil litigation involves disputes between private parties (individuals or organisations), while criminal litigation involves the government prosecuting someone for a crime.
Civil litigation can take months or years, depending on the complexity of the case and the court's backlog.
No, arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), where a neutral third party (arbitrator) hears both sides and makes a binding decision. It's generally faster and less formal than litigation.
A vexatious litigant is someone who repeatedly files frivolous or baseless lawsuits. Courts may impose restrictions on such individuals.
