LITIGATION

The Civil Litigation process can be an intimidating and lengthy process; however, having knowledge about the process can help ease the process.

The key steps in the litigation process include:

• Determining Jurisdiction
• Statement of Claim
• Statement of Defence and Counterclaim or Cross-claim
• Reply and Defence to Counterclaim or Cross-claim
• Discovery Plan
• Affidavit of Documents (also known as the Documentary Discovery)
• Examinations for Discovery
• Answering Undertakings and Motions to Compel Answers
• Motions
• Mandatory Mediation (depending on your jurisdiction)
• Setting the matter down for Trial and Pre-Trial Conference
• Trial
