Civil Litigation

Civil Litigation means taking legal action in a court of law where the party suing does not impose or wish to impose criminal sanctions. Such litigation may be initiated by a person or a company. Civil Litigation could be on any number of issues relating from day to day life to complex issues which might be specific to a single individual or company.
