CIVIL LITIGATION                                    
The term litigation refers to any lawsuit that is brought before a court in order to recover a right, obtain damages, obtain an injunction, prevent injury or to obtain a declaratory judgment to prevent further legal disputes. Civil Litigation is any lawsuit that does not involve a criminal charge. The person or business that initiates the lawsuit is the plaintiff, and the individual or business who is being sued is the defendant. The general purpose of civil litigation cases is to resolve a dispute, whether it be between businesses, individuals or an individual and a business.
