Frequently asked questions
Do all cases go to trial?
No. Most civil cases settle before trial, often through negotiation or mediation. We prepare every matter as if it will go to trial, which puts you in a stronger position to settle on good terms.
Is there a time limit for bringing a claim?
Yes. Strict limitation periods apply, depending on the type of claim. If you think you have a claim, it is important to get advice early.
Which court will hear my case?
Smaller claims are generally heard in the Parish Court, and larger or more complex claims in the Supreme Court. We will advise on the right court and the likely costs.
