What is the difference between Civil Litigation and Commercial Litigation?
In terms of procedure, civil and commercial litigation are very similar. They both involve appointing a commercial solicitor who will conduct an investigation into the case and take the matter to court on your behalf. However, they differ on a couple of key aspects – the first being the ‘parties’ involved.
Civil Litigation involves a dispute between two people, where one side requires financial reimbursement.
By contrast, Commercial Litigation involves businesses. It’s an umbrella term, used for any dispute resolution claims that arise within a corporate context – an example maybe between a company, and contractor or shareholder.

Calderbank Offers and Offers of Compromise
They are two methods of sanctioning costs against a party who unreasonably fails to accept an offer of settlement. By using a Calderbank Offer or Offer of Compromise, you as the Offeror have the advantage of creating potentially adverse cost consequences on the Offeree if your offer is reasonable and not accepted.
This then encourages an environment for settling proceedings prior to or during court proceedings, as it affords a measure of relief to the party who incurs costs unnecessarily as a consequence of unreasonable conduct.
