Civil Litigation Lawyer

Every day each of us encounters situations and problems which require solutions. When those problems are caused by others who are not willing, or able, to correct those problems, often the only option will be to seek assistance from the public court system. The use of this system is known as Civil Litigation.

At Wahab Law, we understand that in most disputes, our clients would prefer to avoid potentially costly and time-consuming litigation. We make every effort to resolve matters for our clients through alternative dispute resolution methods prior to taking matters before a court.
When court is unavoidable, we work with our clients to resolve matters efficiently and effectively to preserve any long standing family or business relationships.

Wahab Law has experience successfully arguing cases before Ontario courts. We also have extensive experience bringing matters before various tribunals and other administrative bodies.
We deal with an array of civil litigation including:

Contract Disputes: Where the obligations and entitlements of parties are in dispute, sometime flowing from a written agreement and sometimes flowing from an unwritten, or implied, agreement.

Property Disputes: Property disputes can arise from one neighbour wanting to install something new on their property, while the other neighbour may believe that it is too close to their property line. Landscaping features, fencing or sheds can be the cause of a property dispute. If a property dispute cannot be resolved, it can sometimes go to court.

Product Liability: Manufacturers and merchants are responsible for the quality and safety of the products they make and sell. If you have purchased a defective product that has resulted in injury, our law firm can assist you in recovering damages and compensation, even if the manufacturer is not a Canadian company. When a product fails to deliver on its promises or causes injury as a result of being defective, you can count on our civil litigation specialists to bring a quick and satisfactory resolution to your claim.

Insurance Claims (Property): If your home or personal property has been damaged, you may be entitled to make a claim for coverage against your home insurer. We can evaluate your insurance policy to determine what compensation you may be owed, and we will assist you to ensure you receive your maximum entitlements under your policy.

Neighbour Disputes: Learn your legal rights and options if you have a problem with a neighbour. Work out problems involving noise, untidiness, dogs, fences, trees, second-hand smoke, water damage, and trespassing.

Collection Actions: Collection procedures in Ontario have complex restrictions on the ways debts can be collected, which requires extensive knowledge on issues ranging from the correct jurisdiction to bring the action; bringing ex parte motions and injunctions to secure creditor’s assets; and obtaining writs of seizure and sale to collect a creditor’s assets. To successfully advance or resolve a collection action through the legal system requires the skills and knowledge of a litigation lawyer. The type of debt collection matters we manage include commencing actions to recover business debts, consumer debts, judgment debts, and property recovery.

Estate Litigation: Where there may be confusion in the interpretation, or negligence in the administration, of a deceased person’s estate, or there may be actual abuse or theft of the estate’s assets.

Employment Law: Have you been fired, let go, discharged or dismissed from your job? Our expertise in employment litigation are well-positioned to explain your options, if you have been wrongfully terminated from your place of employment.

Human Rights Litigation: Canada and Ontario have recognized the inherent right of all individuals to be free from discrimination. Wahab Law recognizes that right and has advised individuals, companies, employers and employees about their rights and obligations pursuant to human rights legislation.
