Participatory Justice ; an alternative to a win-lose!

 

Participatory justice is a different way of asserting your rights and making it easier for you to access justice by giving you an opportunity, with the assistance of your lawyer, to opt for a solution to prevent and settle your dispute  based on your needs, your interests and your pocket. Since January 2016, when the new Code of Civil Procedure came into force, your lawyer has been duty-bound to inform you of these processes and you are obliged to consider them.
