Before a lawsuit goes to court, you need to get a lawyer skilled in civil litigation who will send a written demand notice to the company. This notice explains the nature of the complaint and the type or amount of compensation the plaintiff (i.e., you) is willing to collect as a settlement.
The complaining party filing processes in court through a lawyer institutes an action. The processes may include a statement of claim, a list of witnesses to be relied on, witness statements on oath, and documents to be relied on during the trial of the case.
A civil action may be commenced in the High Court through any of the following processes, depending on the nature of the action. Originating summons. Applications/originating motions. Petitions. Writ of summons.
Write a demand letter (also called a complaint) detailing the facts of your claim and the monetary compensation (relief) you seek. File the demand letter with the court along with required filing fees and court forms and formally deliver a copy of the demand letter to the defendant (party you're suing)
