Frequently asked questions
Alternative dispute resolution includes negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. These are often faster, less expensive, and more private than court proceedings. Many contracts require these before litigation.
Time limits vary by claim type. Most contract disputes: 6 years. Personal injury: 3 years. Some claims have shorter periods, so seek legal advice promptly for potential claims.
Debt collection starts with formal demands and negotiation. If unsuccessful, file court proceedings (Disputes Tribunal, District/High Court). Enforcement options include garnishee orders or property seizure.
Costs vary by complexity and resolution method. Mediation/negotiation most cost-effective. Court proceedings include legal fees, court fees, potentially other party's costs if you lose.
