Civil litigation is a more formal way of describing a lawsuit. Civil litigation occurs when an individual or business files suit against another individual, business, or government official in a court of law.
What Civil Litigation Typically Involves
Typically, the dispute involves money or is seeking the court to compel an individual or business to take some action or to stop some offending behavior.
More often than not, civil litigation involves some type of formerly mutually beneficial relationship (e.g. contract between businesses, neighbors, etc.) that has now gone into disrepair or grown damaging for one of the parties.
