Domande frequenti
Should a contract dispute timeline start before filing?
Yes. Include important pre-suit events such as the alleged breach, notice and demand letter when they affect the claim or settlement discussions.
Why show a counterclaim?
A counterclaim can change the scope of discovery and settlement, so it is a significant pleading event.
Can mediation happen before discovery ends?
Yes. Courts and parties may schedule mediation at different points, including while discovery is underway.
