Civil law
Civil work covers disputes between private parties over rights, money, and property. The chambers appear in suits, applications, and appeals as the brief requires.
A civil brief usually begins with a chronology, a list of documents, and a note of limitation. Drafting is then prepared so that the pleadings match the evidence available.
Matters commonly instructed
- Contractual disputes
- Injunctions and interim relief applications
- Recovery of money
- Arbitration-related court work
- Appeals and revisions where instructed
Clients are advised of costs, timelines, and the difference between a strong paper case and a matter that depends on oral evidence.
