Commercial Litigation
Commercial litigation falls under the branch of civil litigation, however one of the parties involved is usually from the corporate or business sphere. This particular area of law can be incredibly complex and often time consuming causing much pressure and stress due to the nature of the case being a dispute.
Disputes can range from professional negligence, breach of contracts, shareholder issues, debt recovery to class action lawsuits. Cases concerning commercial litigation consume both time and money which is the antithesis to successful business. Business owners' preference is to utilise their energy and time into the growth of their enterprise and we understand the issue commercial litigation causes for companies and organisations.
The costs that result from commercial disputes have usually been court ordered or an offer has been confirmed for the recovery of the costs involved. There are many expenses resulting from this type of case such as the fees for all of the law parties involved for the case to take place; experts, court and counsel.
The winning parties in commercial litigation cases are entitled to receive part or all of the costs that have accumulated throughout the duration. In this instance it is necessary to have a bill of costs drafted in order to reclaim the expenditures that are rightfully owed. However, if there are further issues arising from the paying parties via their points of dispute, further negotiations can be reached through points of reply. If an agreement cannot be decided then final action can take place in the form of an assessment hearing with a Judge present to appraise the cost.
