This guide provides an outline of the different stages in court proceedings in England and Wales (the court system is different in Scotland and Northern Ireland) and sets out some of the options available to those involved in litigation. It focuses on commercial disputes in the High Court.
This guide is based on court rules as of March 2023 – and of course, these rules may change. It should not therefore be relied on by anyone contemplating bringing a claim, or who faces the prospect of defending a claim.
Should you or your company become involved in a dispute, we recommend you seek immediate legal advice.
