*A“civil/commercial” dispute will usually involve an assertion of legal rights or duties, claims, counterclaims and defences in which parties have made it clear that they will be seeking decisions and/or remedies from the “civil” courts (High Court and County Court) if the dispute cannot be resolved by mutual agreement. They do not necessarily have to have a “commercial” element and frequently involve disputes between one or more individuals.
