The 'two-conclusion rule' is an annoying pitfall for parties litigating on appeal. Contentions and defences may not be raised later than via the statement of appeal or the statement of defence. The Supreme Court recently axed the exception to this rule. The ruling is an indication to expressly object to new defences by the opposing party.
Litigation in this day and age.
If you have a dispute with another party and cannot resolve it together, it may make sense to take the dispute to court. Together with you, our litigation lawyers will analyse the possibilities of resolving a case in advance. We do this through advice, consultation, mediation or proceedings. Our litigation lawyers specialise in conducting proceedings at first instance, appeal and cassation.
When a Litigation lawyer is relevant to you
Preferably, we discuss the case with you in person. If possible, we will assess the case with you on the basis of documents at your disposal. In case the dispute can be settled in a Dutch court and under Dutch law, we will take up the case for you. If required, we can also cooperate with other lawyers in ongoing proceedings and/or appeals and give a second opinion if there is a need for it.
