Stages of Civil Procedure

Civil litigation usually goes through the following stages:

Pleadings

This initial step involves both parties filing paperwork in the court presenting their side of the story. The plaintiff will be the one filing the complaint while the defendant is required to file a response.

Discovery

This phase involves both parties collecting information to bolster their arguments. They gather evidence by interrogating witnesses, obtaining relevant documents and examining the crime scene.

Trial

The lawsuit will move to this stage if both parties are unable to resolve the dispute out of court. During the trial, both the plaintiff and the defence will present evidence supporting their claims to the judge. Lawyers typically prevent cases from going to trial, as part of their strategy, especially if they’re unable to secure or predict a favourable outcome for their clients.

Appeal

If one party disagrees with the verdict, they have the option to appeal the outcome with the appropriate appellate court.

Hoe Lawyers, an established civil law firm, helps clients in Perth tackle civil legal disputes

We have knowledgeable civil lawyers who protect your interests and come up with a straightforward and fast resolution to your case.

Civil law is an expansive law practice. It covers a broad range of legal issues, including personal injury, debt recovery and employment. Unlike criminal law, where the dispute concerns a person and the state, civil law focuses on conflicts between two individuals.

Civil disputes are both stressful and demanding, especially when they result in litigation. If you’re in this situation, you require an experienced civil litigation lawyer to help you navigate the legal dispute.
