What are civil cases?
Civil cases are claims that arise from a dispute over a right or obligation or a legal relationship between natural persons or legal entities, with the aim of protecting a right or demanding the enforcement of an obligation or obtaining compensation or a legal ruling, depending on the nature of the claim.
Civil disputes include a wide variety of topics, and thus determining the nature of the legal relationship and the valid requests and evidence that establish the right represents a fundamental step before filing the claim.
What are the most common types of civil cases?
Civil cases encompass many forms of disputes, including:
– Claims for financial rights.
– Claims for compensation.
– Disputes related to contracts.
– Disputes concerning property and rights of ownership.
– Some disputes related to leases.
– Claims regarding the validity and termination of contracts based on the nature of the act.
– Claims for annulment or dissolution of contracts in the cases prescribed by law.
– Disputes related to accounting and financial claims.
– Disputes of partnerships and commercial dealings according to the specialty.
– Claims for civil liability.
The specialized court varies and the litigation procedures depend on the value of the claim and its nature and subject.
Evidence in civil cases
Among the most important elements of a civil case is evidence.
The court looks at what the litigants present in terms of documents and defense, requests, and evidence according to the legal rules governing evidence and procedures.
Documents may include written records, contracts, correspondence, and other evidence materials of significant importance depending on the nature of the dispute.
The principles of the Egyptian appeal court are currently published and there are specific principles regarding the burden of proof and evidence procedures, and the authority of the substantive court in determining the applicable standards.
Therefore, preparing the case file before filing the claim, and determining the documents that establish the right, is one of the most important steps in legal action.
Degrees of litigation in civil cases
The degrees of litigation vary depending on the type of case and its value and the jurisdiction, as the case is initially brought before the specialized court, then there are ways to appeal or review when the legal conditions are met.
In the cases where the law allows for an appeal before the Court of Cassation, the appeal shall be in accordance with the rules, provisions, and reasons defined by the law.
The Egyptian Court of Cassation oversees its civil jurisdiction including multiple domains: civil, commercial, economic, labor, personal status, and others.
Why does the civil case require a specialized lawyer?
Because the strength of the civil case does not solely depend on the existence of a right, but also on how to prove it, formulate the requests, and payments, and handle legal procedures.
The lawyer studies the documents and contracts, identifies the legal basis for the case, evaluates the evidence, drafts the lawsuit or defense paper, and follows the procedures, sessions, and available appeal methods.
