Why this website?

«After 25 years of experience in alternative dispute resolution and litigation, one simple observation motivated me to create this website: "Those involved in a dispute often do not know whom to turn to—given the more than 20 types of potential parties involved—nor do they realize that the amicable route is fast, effective, free, confidential, and easy to implement.". »

Warning: Warning: Votre-Litige provides general information only. The site does not offer personalized legal advice. Users remain solely responsible for any actions they take. Use of the site constitutes acceptance of this limitation of liability. The process outlined here covers only the initial court level, as the majority of disputes involve amounts under €5,000 and are not subject to appeal. Attention : Merely referring a matter to a conciliator or mediator does not necessarily suspend the limitation period. If that period is nearing its expiry, it is advisable to verify immediately whether an act capable of interrupting or suspending the period can be performed.
