FAQs
In short, litigation is the process of settling a dispute that doesn’t involve criminal activities. With the exception of family law matters, employment issues and criminal defence cases, most legal matters involve litigation to some degree.
Some of the most common examples of litigation include:

Due to litigation being so broad, the cost of a litigation case varies on a case-by-case basis. Some factors that influence the cost of a litigation case include:
1. The type and complexity of the matter.
2. How far the other side is willing to defend the claim.
To give you an idea of how much a litigation claim may cost, if a straightforward matter settles in the early stages, a litigation claim may only cost £300 to £600. However, in a complex claim that involves large sums of money and multiple hearings, a court case can cost tens of thousands of pounds to settle.

Much like calculating the cost of litigation, how long a litigation case takes is highly dependent on the type and complexity of the case, in addition to how willing the other side is to defend the claim.
If the other side agrees to settle after the pre-claim letter, you may be looking at 1 to 2 weeks.
If a hearing is required, the timescales will depend on the availability of a judge to hear your case, which can take anywhere from 6 months to 2 years.
Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has taken off in recent years and is encouraged by courts as a cheaper and faster way of resolving disputes. Many judges will now frown upon anyone who has not demonstrated they have tried to settle their matter through mediation or arbitration first.
Instead of waiting 6 months for a court date, most mediators can be arranged within just a few weeks, bringing your matter to a quicker close.
However, if you’re unable to find a resolution through a form of ADR, your last option will be court.
