Suing someone or a company in court is a common practice but bear in mind that deciding to sue someone is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Hence, before you make that decision, you should be confident that you have no other viable options.
So, before filing a lawsuit, you must determine whether you have a legally valid claim. A claim is only legally valid if a law supports your claim against another party.
You should only bring a case to court when a legal wrong has been committed. You should not want to sue a person merely because you ‘don’t like something they did.
To take a case to court, the party would have to hire a lawyer who will advise on the relative strengths and weaknesses of the issue and will also file all the necessary documents to the court.
Once the case has been filed in court, the other party would be given several days to respond to the lawsuit filed against them. The other party will hire their own lawyer who will advise them on their position’s relative strengths and weaknesses and whether they should try to settle the case out of court or fight the case by filing their own defence.
