Frequently asked questions
I received court papers. What should I do first?
Record the date and method of service, keep the full set of documents together and obtain legal advice promptly because procedural deadlines may already be running.
Is a letter of demand always necessary?
Not in every matter. Whether it is useful or required depends on the cause of action, agreement, urgency and procedural context.
Can a civil dispute settle after court papers are issued?
Yes. Litigation and settlement discussions can run in parallel, but any settlement should be properly documented and account for the procedural position of the case.
