Different types and manner of civil actions are dealt with in certain specific courts or tribunals. Once we understand the nature of your issue we will be able to advise you which court is likely to hear the matter, and how the various courts and tribunals follow different civil rules and procedures.

Mediation...

Thankfully not every dispute wends its way before a Judge in a Courtroom, and mediation can often be the answer to the initially unconceivable resolution between two individuals, contracted companies at loggerheads or those individuals and corporations in dispute with a commercial governing authority or government department.

Often a letter from the solicitor, stating your position will bring a resolution to the fore without the need for protracted, unnecessary and costly court litigation.

Sanctuary Law will always endeavor to ascertain from our clients if mediation is possible at every stage of a dispute process, as we believe where fences can be mended, relationships salvaged and reaffirmed, and even where finality is still required, that such resolution can be achieved through mutual respect, dialogue and consensus for the benefit of all the parties and individuals involved.
