Commercial Disputes
Whenever a commercial or business transaction goes awry, a civil dispute is the inevitable result. This is why both parties involved in the transaction enter into a detailed contract or agreement to avoid such disputes and hold each other accountable to their obligations. In the event of commercial disputes, such as breach of contract, shareholder disputes, employer-employee conflicts, insurance disputes, and regulatory compliance cases, you must seek legal representation from our civil litigation lawyers.
Contractual Disputes
When one party fails to fulfill any of the terms and conditions of the contract, the aggrieved party has the right to initiate legal action for damages. This can be:
- Fundamental breach of the contract: This refers to the failure of one party to fulfill multiple or all the obligations mentioned in the contract, resulting in the aggrieved party not benefiting at all from the transaction.
- Material breach: This refers to a situation where one party fails to perform their side of the contract, while the aggrieved party has upheld their obligations.
- Partial breach: As the name indicates, the alleged guilty party has failed to fulfill at least some of the obligations mentioned in the contract.
- Anticipatory breach: In this case, one of the parties will clearly communicate their unwillingness or inability to fulfil their obligations by the closing date.
Regardless of the nature and extent of the breach of contract, our civil litigation lawyers can help you recover the damages you are entitled to by law.
Estate Litigation
Estate distribution and settlement are often fraught with multiple disputes and legal challenges, especially when there is no will. Generally, such disputes are settled during the probate process. Even after the probate, if you have genuine concerns backed by proof, a potential beneficiary or family member may initiate a legal challenge against the estate distribution and settlement within the statute of limitations of two years. Contact our civil litigation lawyers to figure out the best course of action if you are indeed planning to pursue such an option.
Power of Sale and Foreclosures
In the event of a mortgage default or breach of the terms of the covenant, the lender has the legal right to initiate the legal process of power of sale or foreclosure to recover the remaining portion of the loan amount. In most cases, this will lead to civil litigation between the borrower and the lender, especially in cases where the correct legal procedure is not followed.
For example, while the law gives the lender the power to force the sale in the event of a default, if the lender sells the property below the market rate, the borrower can challenge the sale in court. Similarly, if the lender initiates the foreclosure proceedings, the borrower has the right to challenge it in court. In both cases, our experienced civil litigation lawyers can provide you with the necessary legal guidance and assistance.
Real Estate Litigation
Any civil disputes concerning a property fall under the category of real estate litigation. This will include disputes, such as a breach of any terms of the agreement or contract, boundary disputes between two parties, conflicts between the landlord and tenants, or provincial or zoning bylaw compliance issues. Regardless of the nature of your real estate dispute, our civil litigation lawyers can represent your side and protect your rights and financial interests in the case.
Shareholder Disputes
Even with a proper shareholder agreement in place, shareholder disputes are bound to happen from time to time. This could take many forms, such as a breach of the provisions of the shareholder agreement, majority shareholders acting against the interests of the minority shareholders, share valuation disputes, and matters related to corporate governance, management decisions, and operational disputes. Once the dispute resolution options provided in the shareholder agreement are exhausted, civil litigation might be your only resort. Our civil litigation lawyers are experienced in handling such shareholder disputes to their successful conclusion.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if I lose in a civil lawsuit?
If you lose the civil lawsuit, you will have to abide by the final court order issued in favour of your opponent. This means that you will be required to pay the damages or meet the obligations requested as legal remedy by the litigant. Generally, in such cases, you will be required to pay for the court costs and at least a portion or all of the litigant’s legal costs. You will be required to make the payment within a specific timeframe, and if there is any delay, additional interest or penalty may be added to the total amount. Your failure to make the payment may also attract other legal actions, such as wage garnishment and asset seizure. Get in touch with our civil litigation lawyers in Toronto to consider your available legal options in such a situation.
What should I do when notified that someone is suing me?
The first step is to immediately engage the services of an experienced civil litigation lawyer to protect your legal rights and financial interests in the case. You may approach our Toronto civil litigation team for guidance and assistance. If you just received communication about the impending lawsuit, or the lawsuit has already been initiated and you have just been served the court notice, you need to consult your lawyer to explore the next course of action. If the litigant has submitted their statement of claim in court, you will be required to submit your statement of defence or counterclaim within a specific timeframe. This is followed by the discovery stage, where your lawyer will gather all the evidence and build a strong case in your favour. There is also the option to enter negotiations with the other party to come to an out-of-court settlement to resolve the matter. Follow the advice of your lawyer on the next course of action.

Which is better in a civil dispute: mediation or trial?
While alternative dispute resolution options such as mediation may be less expensive and time-consuming than litigation, it will be impossible to force the other party to comply with the final decision if they are not inclined to do so. On the other hand, a court order is final unless overturned through appeal, and there are legal options available to the aggrieved party if the defendant refuses to comply with the order. Connect with our civil litigation lawyers in Toronto to ascertain which option suits the circumstances of your case.
What is the difference between a statement of defence and a counterclaim?
A statement of defence is submitted in response to the statement of claim put forward by the litigant in court initiating the civil litigation lawsuit. As the name suggests, in the statement of defence, the defendant may put forward their side of the argument and refute the claims raised by the litigant. On the other hand, the defendant might have claims of their own against the litigant, which can be raised in a counterclaim against the litigant. In other words, the defendant might also seek damages or a legal remedy in the case. Consult with our civil litigation lawyers in Toronto and submit a proper legal response within the timeframe provided.
