Civil litigation

This is not the car I ordered? My coat came out of the dry cleaner damaged, what now? My neighbour has demolished our fence but acts as if nothing has happened!

Civil disputes are disputes that concern one or other relationship between private individuals or between an entrepreneur and an individual. Jurisdiction over civil problems is divided among four courts. The justice of the peace settles, among other things, minor disputes between citizens. Those who are not satisfied or have more major problems approach the civil court, the company court or the labour court.

The motto of Adlex advocaten & bemiddelaars is: “Prevention is better than cure”. So seek our advice well in time. With common sense, with mutual trust and consultation, we will do everything necessary to resolve your problem.

  • What to do when a non-conforming car is delivered – when there are hidden defects?
  • You are organising a neighbourhood party and the barbecue you ordered is not delivered, what should you do next?
  • You lend or borrow money to or from a private person and he does not pay back the loan?
  • You have taken your coat to the dry cleaner’s and it is completely ruined. What now?

This legal domain also includes ‘minor contracts’. In recent years, consumer protection has become increasingly enshrined in law. Consumer law lays down many rules and agreements that must be observed during the sale and purchase of goods and services. Nevertheless, there is often room for dispute. Especially in case of neighbourhood disputes, which unfortunately occur quite frequently.

So don’t wait until the problem escalates. Through mediation, a conciliation procedure or, if strictly necessary, legal proceedings, we ensure that the sting is removed from the dispute. We are ready to help you at any level: to provide advice, to draft contracts, and to provide support in court.
