TOP 10 MYSTERIOUS FORCES THAT RULE LAWSUITS

On Employment / Labour Law for residents in Canada  

1.   When under oath, people who try to answer questions so as to make a point generally don’t.

2.   Litigants who do not listen to their lawyer’s advice usually need to be reminded later what that advice was.

3.   Litigants who respect the court receive the court’s respect. Those who don’t, don’t.

4.   Witnesses who spontaneously volunteer information always regret it.

5.   No case has better than an 85% chance of winning or worse than a 15% chance of losing.

6.   Fortune favors the brave but crushes the foolhardy, and the line between the two is razor thin.

7.   In the first meeting with his or her lawyer, no client ever admits to being the guilty party.

8.   In the best cross-examinations, the witness has no idea how badly he or she has been discredited.

9.   A litigant who hides documents or lies to his or her lawyer suffers a tragic, fiery fate in a court of law.

10. Strategically, choosing which legal battles to fight is far more important than winning any one of them.
