Civil Case Announcements

What is a civil case?

A civil case is a dispute between individuals or organisations — over property, contracts, money recovery or similar matters — decided by a civil court.

The main stages

• Filing the plaint — the case begins with a written statement of claim
• Summons — the court notifies the other party
• Evidence and arguments — both sides present their case
• Judgment — the court decides the matter
