Multi-District Litigation (or similar complex litigation management) in Georgia refers to situations where disputes involving the same issue are ongoing in courts across different regions. This often happens with large businesses, banks, or insurance companies with branches nationwide. For example, if a company has disputes with debtors in Batumi, Kutaisi, and Tbilisi, it needs a unified legal strategy and coordination to avoid contradictory decisions from different courts. Legal.ge offers access to major law firms and litigators who have the resources to manage cases in parallel anywhere in Georgia, ensuring a uniform standard and saving the client's time.
What Does Multi-District Litigation Management Cover?
This service is designed for corporate clients with large-scale legal needs. Services include:
- Centralized Case Management: Creating a unified coordination center managing lawyers in the regions.
- Case Consolidation: Filing motions to consolidate cases pending in different courts into one court where legally possible for efficiency.
- Unified Strategy: Developing a single legal position and template documentation for all regions.
- Logistical Support: Deploying lawyers and managing remote proceedings.
- Monitoring and Reporting: Preparing a consolidated report for the client on the status of all ongoing disputes.
Real-World Scenarios Where You Need This Service
For instance, a microfinance organization has 100 debtors in various Georgian cities. Hiring a separate lawyer in each city is inefficient and expensive. Through Legal.ge, you can hire a law firm that approaches the issue systematically: preparing template lawsuits and sending representatives to locations. Another example: a distribution company is sued by 10 former employees in 3 different regions on the same grounds. If different courts make different decisions, it's a problem for the company. A qualified team ensures that the defense line is identical and consistent in all courts.
Georgian Legal Framework
The "Civil Procedure Code of Georgia" (Article 183) provides for the possibility of consolidating cases if they are related and heard in the same court. Consolidating cases across different courts is difficult, but changing jurisdiction by agreement of the parties is possible. Corporate lawyers use these mechanisms to optimize processes. Also, the electronic case management system allows for remote filing and monitoring of lawsuits.
The Process Step-by-Step
1. Portfolio Audit: The client transfers information on all disputes to the lawyers. 2. Strategy: An action plan and budget are created. 3. Distribution: Cases are distributed to regional lawyers or mobile teams. 4. Coordination: The central office controls deadlines and quality. 5. Result: Completion of cases and a consolidated report.
