What is
Litigation?
A controversy
before a court or a "lawsuit" is commonly referred to as
“litigation”. If it is not settled by agreement between the
parties it would eventually be heard and decided by a judge or
jury in a court. Litigation is one way that people and companies
resolve disputes arising out of an infinite variety of factual
circumstances.
The term "litigation" is sometimes to distinguish lawsuits from
“alternate dispute resolution” methods such as "arbitration" in
which a private arbitrator would make the decision, or
“mediation” which is a type of structured meeting with the
parties and an independent third party who works to help them
fashion an agreement among themselves.
