civil litigation  

Définition(s)

  • Civil litigation, more commonly called a “lawsuit” or “civil action,” describes the formal process of resolving disputes between individuals, businesses, governments, and other groups through the court system. It would most likely translate from its Latin roots as “to carry on a lawsuit between citizens.” Civil litigation is initiated by one party, called the plaintiff, to protect particular personal or property rights (guarantees enforceable under the law) against another party, called the defendant, who allegedly violated said rights in contradiction of a duty.
