Civil wrongs and disputes
Civil disputes can arise from many situations and can fall under almost all areas of UK law, involving individuals, companies, local authorities or Government departments.

Civil disputes usually fall into two categories:
- Contractual Dispute - in which an agreement has been broken between two or more parties.
- A Civil Wrong - caused by one party to another, either deliberately or as a result of negligence.
Contractual Disputes may only involve a relatively small amount of money, such as in the case of debt recovery or a claim relating to the purchase of defective goods. However these claims can involve complicated commercial litigation and be more complex and drawn-out.
Civil Wrongs often entail claims for compensation for personal injury or damage to property or reputation.
