legal dispute
A legal dispute occurs when two or more parties have a disagreement that they cannot resolve on their own, typically involving issues such as contracts, property, or personal rights. This may lead one party to seek a resolution through the legal system, which could involve negotiations, mediation, or a court trial. The goal is to reach a fair outcome based on applicable laws and evidence. Legal disputes can arise between individuals, businesses, or government entities and can involve various types of law, like civil, criminal, or administrative law.
