Civil Litigation remains one of the most common methods of dispute resolution parties adopt to settle disputes in England & Wales. The process is governed by the Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) which must be complied with, and vary depending on the value, complexity and type of claim.
Pre-Action Protocols (PAP) must be adhered to by both parties before a claim is commenced and requires the parties to engage in pre-litigation discussions and negotiations. The aim of the PAP is for the parties to achieve early resolution, with court proceedings being the last resort. However, this is not always possible and at times litigation is unavoidable.
