Civil disputes are document-led
Agreements, notices, receipts, account records, correspondence and prior proceedings can determine the available issues and remedies. Parties should preserve originals and organise events by date.
Property disputes need a complete record
Relevant material may include deeds, registration details, mutation or revenue records, tax receipts, possession records, maps, agreements, succession documents and earlier orders. Registration and title are related but distinct questions that require legal examination.
- Registered deeds and prior title documents
- Possession and payment records
- Government or municipal records
- Notices and earlier proceedings
Relief and jurisdiction must be identified
A dispute may concern declaration, injunction, possession, specific performance, recovery or another remedy. The correct court, valuation, territorial jurisdiction and limitation position require case-specific assessment.
