Civil Litigation
Civil law courts provide a forum for deciding disputes involving torts
(such as accidents, negligence, and libel), contract disputes, the probate
of wills, trusts, property disputes, administrative law, commercial law, and
any other private matters that involve private parties and organizations
including government departments.
The objectives of civil law are different from other types of law. In civil
law there is the attempt to right a wrong, honor an agreement, or settle a
dispute.
The focus of our law practice is civil litigation and resolving your legal issues in matters involving family law, personal injury claims, criminal matters, business disputes and contracts. See our areas of practice...
Contracts
A
contract is two or more people agreeing to do something. Most people don't
realize it but each time they step outside their door they enter into a
succession of contracts. Each time you buy a loaf of bread, a subway token,
a newspaper or a salami on rye you are entering into a contract. Two people,
you and Harry's Diner promising to do something for each other. Harry will
put salami on rye and hold the mayo and you will pay him $2.50. You get fed,
Harry gets paid and you both get a benefit. Whether you are Gulf Canada
buying 40 million widgets or Harry, the principles of contract are the same.
Of course the nature of the agreement will very often be disputed. Hence the
hundreds of text and thousands of cases that fall under the heading of
contract law. Understand contracts
