What is litigation?

LITIGATION
- A controversy before a court or a "lawsuit" is commonly referred to as “litigation”. If it is not settled by agreement between the parties it would eventually be heard and decided by a judge or jury in a court. Litigation is one way that people and companies resolve disputes arising out of an infinite variety of factual circumstances.

- "A contest, authorized by law, in a court of justice, for the purpose of enforcing a right."
