Frequently asked questions

In which courts does the firm represent civil matters?

In all instances — the Magistrates’ Court, the District Court, and appeals before the Supreme Court.

What is the difference between a claim in the Magistrates’ Court and the District Court?

Jurisdiction is determined chiefly by the value and nature of the matter; the Magistrates’ Court hears lower-value claims, while the District Court hears higher-value and certain specialised matters.

Can a civil dispute be resolved without litigation?

Yes. Many disputes are resolved through negotiation, mediation or arbitration, which can save time and cost.

What happens after a judgment is given in my favour but the other side does not pay?

Enforcement proceedings can be opened to realise the judgment, including attachments and additional collection measures.

What should I bring to the first consultation?

It is advisable to bring the relevant documents — contracts, correspondence, registration papers and supporting evidence — for an accurate assessment.
