Civil law: key matters at a glance
Contractual and purchase-law disputes
Civil claims should be analysed from the underlying contract and the evidence. The questions are not only whether an obligation exists, but also whether it is due, whether a defect or breach has occurred and which remedy is available at the relevant stage.
Damages and payment claims
A damages claim normally requires more than proof of an economic loss. The applicable legal basis, breach, responsibility, causation and amount of loss must be established. For unpaid debts, the strategy may progress from an out-of-court demand to payment-order proceedings or a civil action.
Civil litigation in Germany
Before proceedings are started, jurisdiction, the requested relief, factual allegations, evidence and cost risk should be assessed. A favourable judgment may then serve as a basis for enforcement if the debtor does not comply voluntarily.
The existence, scope and enforceability of a civil claim depend on the contract, the parties, the evidence, deadlines and the procedural situation.
