Civil litigation refers to the legal process through which individuals, businesses, or organizations resolve disputes in a court of law. It provides a structured process for resolving disputes through the court system. This area of law encompasses a wide range of issues, including contractual disputes, personal injury claims, property disputes, and family law matters. 

In most cases, South African courts encourage the use of alternative dispute resolution methods, such as mediation and arbitration, to resolve disputes outside of the courtroom.

Whether in litigation or ADR, understanding the legal framework, court structure, and procedural steps involved is essential for individuals and businesses seeking to navigate civil disputes effectively.
