What Is a Litigation
Litigation is a formal legal document or letter containing a notice for a legal complaint or action. Complainants file litigations due to another party's illegal or unruly acts. The allegations could be noise complaints, defamation complaints, failure to pay bills complaints, federal complaints, and many more. Litigations are sent to its recipient either through snail mail or email. Once the recipient fails to compensate for the things he/she needs to compensate in a litigation document, lawsuit documents might be coming to him/her, which will lead to court motions.
How to Create a Litigation in Apple Pages?
A litigation document is a highly confidential document since it involves legalities and the law itself. For that reason, you must create it carefully should the need arises on your behalf. To help you with that, we have gathered a few tips on how you should create a litigation document.
1. Choose Apple Pages
There are several word processors out there that are reliable for creating formal documents. You can choose any of them. But among your choices should be Apple Pages. Why so? First of all, if you have an Apple device or PC, chances are you already have Apple Pages. Hence, there's no need to purchase for installation. Second, Apple Pages has the right tools and features for you to implement a standard format for your litigation document. Third, Apple Pages file formats are compatible and printable with other formats such as MS Word, should the necessity to use another word processor arises.
2. Decide an Appropriate Title for the Litigation
The title of your litigation must imply or at least give a hint on what your complaint is about. For example, if your litigation document is for delayed payment of a credit card bill, you can title it "Final Notice to Pay Before Legal Action."
3. Follow Standard Formal Letter Format
Keep in mind that a litigation document is a formal letter document. So you must create it following standard formal letter format. Achieving that will be easy if you're using Apple Pages. In general, what you must do is set the margins to one inch, set font size to 12, observe proper spacing between lines and paragraphs, and use formal fonts (e.g. Calibri, Helvetica, Times New Roman). By following the standard formal letter format, your litigation document will look organized and easy to read.
4. Address the Recipient
The recipient will know for sure that the litigation document is rightfully for him/her. But for formality reasons, you must address him/her in the document. And as mentioned earlier, a litigation document is a formal document. Therefore you must address the recipient with an appropriate title (e.g. Mr., Mrs., Dr., Atty.).
5. Elaborate Your Complaint
The complaint or situation at concern is an essential part of your litigation document. Without it, then the recipient's illegal and unruly acts might become less eligible for legal actions, thus dwindling the purpose of your litigation document. When elaborating your complaints, make sure that you have recorded documents and evidence that supports your claims against the recipient.
6. Implement a Legal Course of Action
Implementing a legal course of action is an essential step in the creation of litigation documents. If it's absent, then the recipient might do the same unacceptable acts over and over again. But with a legal course of action, he/she may have to compensate for whatever unacceptable and illegal acts he/she committed as soon as possible.
