Legal disputes arise when parties cannot resolve their disagreements. They can involve contracts, property, naming rights, and fraud. Disputes can take months to resolve and involve issues such as copyright infringement, construction, and public funds mismanagement.
A litigation is a lawsuit brought by one party against another party when it is unable to resolve its disputes on its own. In its simplest form, a legal dispute can occur when two parties have a verbal or written contract in which one party was to supply goods or services to the other. When one party believes that the other party has not fulfilled its promises, a legal dispute can arise.
Sometimes, legal disputes are over a company’s naming rights, website domain names, or proprietary rights. People and companies sue each other for property or property rights that they both want. The circumstances and facts in these cases can be varied and tangled, and it can take months for the legal systems to sort themselves out. These cases involve issues ranging from patent or copyright infringement to families suing each other over a relative’s assets.
Another type of legal dispute can arise when a property owner wishes to construct a building or building lot that is unpopular with the surrounding community. Community citizens can take legal action against the property owner by filing a lawsuit to block construction or at least delay it for a considerable amount of time. Citizens also sometimes file legal complaints against the government agency that approved the construction.
Yet another type of legal dispute occurs when one party believes they have been taken advantage of, or even defrauded, by the other party. An example of this type of legal dispute is the numerous lawsuits that have been filed by music recording artists against record companies. For example, a music group might not want a record company to take individual songs from their albums and sell them individually in digital form. A group could also sue its record company for a larger percentage of record sales.
Legal disputes can be about pretty much anything. Some public officials are embroiled in legal disputes over what may appear to be the mismanagement of public funds. A museum board, for example, might be embroiled in a legal dispute over whether the institution administering the trust funding the museum has the right to determine museum policy and direction. Legal disputes can also involve slander, labor law, or any other disagreement between two parties.
