Commercial Litigation

At Stonegate Legal we can provide advice and assistance with most commercial litigation matters including – breach of contract, construction disputes, debtor/creditor disputes, misleading & deceptive conduct, Australian Consumer Law litigation, intellectual property disputes, partnership disputes, product liability, and shareholder disputes.

The first step in any litigation matter is to use alternative dispute resolution (“ADR“) techniques to attempt to resolve the matter without having to go to Court.  However, if the opponent is being particularly difficult, then you may have no choice but to go to Court and seek an order.

At Stonegate Legal we can help you resolve your commercial disputes, firstly with ADR, and if that fails then with litigation through the Courts.

Debt Disputes

Are you looking for debt recovery services in Queensland?  At Stonegate Legal we have a particular focus on debt recovery and the enforcement of money orders.  We can attempt to do the following:

  1. Recovery your outstanding debts;
  2. Get you paid for unpaid invoices;
  3. Get your debtor to enter into a payment plan;
  4. Get the debtor to formally acknowledge their debt;
  5. If needed – refer this debt to commence Court action.

There are a number of reasons why debtors don’t pay their debts:

  • They may just be bad payers.
  • They may be waiting for someone to pay them.
  • They may not have any money at all.
  • They may think that they have a genuine dispute about the quality or quantum of your goods / services.

Whatever the reason for not paying their outstanding bills / invoices, we have ways to recover your debt.

Debt Recovery Services

The debt can be recovered legally by:

  1. Starting proceedings in the Court with jurisdiction;
  2. Filing and serving a claim and statement of claim
  3. Usually, getting judgment in default; then
  4. Enforcement of that judgment in the Court or Federal Court.

Before commencing proceedings it is important to attempt to resolve the matter with your debtor.

Court proceedings can be very expensive and if unsuccessful, you may be ordered to pay the debtor’s costs.
