The universe of Civil law disputes litigation is diverse and ranges from simple court matters to highly complicated disputes involving a large number of parties. At Lexel, our advocates have the expertise to effectively represent in your civil cases. We have been instrumental in handling a wide variety of disputes and with a good measure of success.
A cause of action in a civil case commences when a right of a person or a business is said to have been harmed by the actions of another person or business.
Civil cases typically involve disputes between people or institutions such as businesses, usually over money. The person harmed can request the court of law for relief by filing a civil suit to award damages or compensation for the harm suffered, or can also request the court to pass an injunctive order preventing the other part from doing something, or the person harmed may also seek a declaratory relief. The court which is seized of this dispute and in order to resolve it will determine the facts of the case and will apply the appropriate law to those facts. Based on this application of the law to the facts, the court will decide what legal consequences ultimately flow from the disputing parties’ actions.
Some illustrative civil disputes that the Firm specializes in are:
A contract is a legal document between two or more parties that clearly spells out just what is expected and required of each party in a particular transaction. A contractual dispute occurs when parties have conflicting interpretations over the terms of a contract and one party seeks specific performance or damages or both from the other party.
