What Role Does Litigation Play in Resolving Disputes, and When Is It Necessary?
Introduction
Litigation is often viewed as a last resort in dispute resolution, but it plays a crucial role in the legal system of Bangladesh. This article discusses the importance of litigation, the circumstances under which it becomes necessary, and how Afzal and Associates supports clients through the litigation process.
When to Litigate
Complex Legal Issues
When a dispute involves intricate legal questions that require judicial interpretation, litigation may be the most appropriate course of action. Courts have the authority to provide binding interpretations of the law, which can clarify rights and obligations.
Inability to Reach an Agreement
If parties cannot resolve their differences through negotiation or ADR methods, litigation may be the only option. In cases where one party is unwilling to engage in constructive dialogue, litigation can provide a formal mechanism for resolution.
Enforcement of Rights
In cases where legal rights need to be enforced, such as fraud or breach of contract, litigation provides a formal avenue for seeking justice. Courts have the power to issue orders and judgments that compel compliance with legal obligations.
Public Interest Cases
Some disputes, particularly those involving public interest or significant legal principles, may necessitate litigation to ensure that justice is served and legal precedents are established.
Litigation Process
Filing a Complaint
The plaintiff files a complaint with the court, outlining the dispute and the relief sought. This document initiates the legal process and formally brings the case before the court.
Discovery
Both parties exchange information and evidence relevant to the case. This phase allows each side to gather the necessary facts to support their arguments and prepare for trial.
Trial
The case is presented before a judge (and sometimes a jury), who makes a binding decision. During the trial, both parties present their evidence and arguments, and the judge evaluates the case based on the law and facts presented.
Appeal
If one party is dissatisfied with the outcome, they may have the option to appeal the decision to a higher court. The appeals process allows for the review of legal errors that may have occurred during the trial.
