Common civil disputes

One of the most important pieces of legal advice our Gold Coast civil lawyers will give you is how crucial it is not to leave your civil dispute for too long. This can cause you to miss limitation dates which could prevent you from bringing a claim. Delay can also greatly increase your costs when you do decide to seek legal advice.

You will invariably get a better result when you seek the advice of a qualified civil lawyer promptly instead of delaying.

Some of the most common civil law disputes we help our Gold Coast clients with are listed below, with some key information about each type of civil dispute.

Employment

Disputes relating to employment contracts such as unfair dismissal claims have some of the shortest limitation periods of any area of civil law. You must lodge a claim within 21 days of your dismissal under the Industrial Relations Act 2016 or you risk losing that right. Ideally, you would get legal advice from one of our Gold Coast civil lawyers before lodging your claim by calling our Legal Hotline any time between 7 am and midnight seven days a week.

If that is not possible, you can still lodge a claim and then seek legal advice from a qualified civil lawyer as soon as possible to ensure you do not get bogged down in the complexities of your civil dispute. Instead, get timely and effective legal advice to resolve your matters.

Our Gold Coast civil lawyers can follow up your debt recovery and ensure that all processes are complied with to ensure you get paid as quickly and with as little fuss as possible. Read our article, Debt Recovery in Queensland for more information.
