Understanding key legal terms can help you navigate the complexities of business litigation. Below are explanations of some common terms you may encounter during the process.
Breach of contract occurs when one party fails to fulfill the terms agreed upon in a legally binding agreement. This can result in damages or specific performance claims by the non-breaching party.
Discovery is the pre-trial phase where parties exchange information and gather evidence relevant to the dispute. This process includes depositions, interrogatories, and document requests.
Litigation refers to the process of taking legal action through the courts to resolve disputes. It involves various stages including pleadings, motions, trial, and potentially appeals.
A settlement is an agreement reached between disputing parties to resolve the matter without proceeding to trial. Settlements can be negotiated at any point during the litigation process.
When addressing business disputes, options range from informal negotiations to full-scale litigation. Limited approaches may be suitable for smaller, less complex matters, while comprehensive litigation might be necessary for significant claims or when parties fail to reach agreement. Choosing the right approach depends on the facts, potential outcomes, and your business objectives.
Smaller contract disagreements that involve straightforward issues can often be resolved through negotiation or mediation without extensive litigation. This approach saves time and costs while maintaining business relationships.
