AREA OF LAW
Litigation / Dispute Resolution
The Collins & May Litigation team handles all aspects of dispute resolution and Court
litigation. This may involve advice on a minor matter that could be dealt with in the
Disputes Tribunal where the parties act for themselves, or more complex civil
matters in the District Court or High Court.
Collins & May has a strong focus on Construction Law disputes whether they are in
the District Court, High Court or the Weathertight Homes Tribunal, as well as
alternative dispute resolution processes such as adjudication and mediation.
The Litigation Team also handles all aspects of debt collection and enforcement
processes once Judgment for a debt has been obtained. This may involve applying
to the Court for the Judgment Debtor to be examined and obtaining an attachment
order to their wages so that any debt that is being paid off is paid automatically by
deduction by their employer, or the ultimate enforcement process of bankruptcy.
If the debt involved is owed by a company and there is an issue of insolvency, then
the Statutory Demand process and ultimate application to liquidate the company can
be undertaken.
Our Litigation Team also appears in the Criminal Court in all aspects of Criminal Law
including traffic matters and applications for Limited Licences.
If you have a dispute and simply wish to have an indication of how it is best to be
dealt with, please feel free to contact our Litigation Team.
