Litigation begins when a party decides they want to enforce or defend their legal rights by making a claim. This dispute is usually to seek damages, compensation or rectify some form of an agreement.

Civil litigation deals with matters that fall outside of the criminal system, such as personal injury claims, deceased estate disputes, bankruptcy and debt recovery.
