Steps in the Litigation Process
As a plaintiff, your litigation journey can generally be summed up in 6 steps:
01
Letter of Demand
This is where our office will send a final letter to the defendant requesting payment be made by a certain date.​​
​​​
​
02
Commence Proceedings
If the Letter of Demand is not complied with, then we will take steps to commence proceedings in the relevant Court or Tribunal.
03
Preparation of Evidence
The parties attend to the preparation of evidence and exchange that evidence prior to a final hearing.
​​
​
04
Attempts at Settlement
Now that the parties have exchanged their evidence, the parties may consider settlement discussions as they will have a better idea of the strengths of their case.
05
Final Hearing
If the dispute isn’t settled, then the matter proceeds to a final hearing where a judge makes a binding decision on the dispute.
06
Enforcement
The successful party can then enforce the judgment through various enforcement techniques including garnishee orders and writs for the levy of property.
For a defendant, the journey is generally the same but instead of issuing a Letter of Demand, the defendant may choose to respond to the Letter of Demand outlining their position. Also, as a defendant, you will not be commencing proceedings but, instead, will be responding to the claim with a defence and, where appropriate, a cross claim.
