Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to go to court to resolve a civil dispute?
Not necessarily. Many civil disputes are resolved through negotiation or mediation without court proceedings. We always explore cost-effective alternatives before recommending litigation.
How long does civil litigation take?
A Magistrates Court civil matter can be resolved in 3–6 months. County Court matters typically take 12–24 months. Mediation can resolve disputes much faster — often within weeks.
What is the limitation period for a civil claim?
Most civil claims in Victoria must be commenced within 6 years of the cause of action arising. Some claims have shorter limitation periods. Contact us urgently if you're close to the deadline.
