Commercial Litigation — Frequently Asked Questions
Do all disputes end up in court?
No. Many commercial disputes are resolved through a demand letter, negotiation or mediation. Court proceedings are recommended only when they make commercial sense.
How long do I have to start a claim?
In Ontario the basic limitation period for most civil claims is two years from when the claim was discovered, so it is important to get advice early.
