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.
