There is no doubt that taking all reasonable steps to avoid solving disputes in a court of law is a worthy objective. The costs associated with resolving disputes in court, the aggravation and stress associated with doing so, and the uncertain potential outcomes of court proceedings are all all good reasons to support this objective.
However if you find yourself in a situation where all reasonable efforts to solve a dispute by negotiation have failed, your recourse to achieve a satisfactory resolution to the dispute is to commence litigation in the appropriate forum. We can assist in initiating and prosecuting litigation in the following areas:
Unpaid Accounts: In business there is no sense working if you don’t get paid! If someone owes you or your business money for services or goods rendered, we can assist by initiating collection proceedings.
Employment Related Issues: We can help if you believe you have been wrongly terminated by your employer, or if you are an employer and need assistance with employee issues including advice on “best practices” for terminating an employment contract.
Corporate Disputes: If you find yourself in the position of having a falling out with a business partner, we can assist in obtaining a satisfactory resolution. Both the Ontario and Canadian corporate statutes have multiple avenues available to bring an application to resolve this type of dispute.
Real Estate: If you find yourself as an innocent party in a situation where the other party to a real estate contract is in breach of that contract, we can assist in recovering your damages in court.
Mortgage Enforcement: If you are a mortgage investor, we have extensive experience in closing these transactions, and enforcing a mortgage that goes into default.
