Civil Litigation lawyers in Sri Lanka
“I am owed money or someone broke an agreement with me.”
Civil litigation covers disputes between people and businesses: unpaid money, broken contracts, damages and injunctions. A good litigator also tells you honestly when a letter of demand or mediation will get you further than a five-year case.

Questions people ask
Do I have to go to the Mediation Board first?
For many disputes below a set value, the law requires you to try the Mediation Board before filing in court. Your lawyer will check whether this applies.
How long do I have to file a case?
The Prescription Ordinance sets time limits, commonly three or six years depending on the claim. Do not wait until the deadline is close.
