There are various benefits for settling the disputes in amicable manner before resorting to courts or litigation. These benefits are for both the plaintiff and the defendant, as it is always preferred to attempt settling the dispute before litigation to enjoy the following benefits:

1- Saving Litigation Fees and Costs that the Plaintiff may not be able to Get Back

You may have to pay a considerable fee for litigation, or you may ask for the postponement of the litigation fee, but there are always possibilities of losing the lawsuits. You may think that there are chances to win the lawsuit, however, there are always variables that may arise, such as that the opponent may have convincing arguments or undisclosed documents. Hence, you should always try to settle disputes before resorting to litigation to avoid paying such fees. Thus, no such fruitful outcome will arise in case of paying these fees and winning the lawsuit, supposing if the defendant may flee outside the country and may not pay you those fees despite winning the lawsuit as well.

2- Saving Lawyers’ Fees and Non-Refundable Costs

You will need to pay lawyer’s fees for hiring him to negotiate on your behalf to ensure you get as much as possible of your due amounts before the dispute arises. However, the lawyer’s fee will not exceed the fees that may be paid during one stage of litigation. Therefore, you will save about half of the expected litigation fees. Moreover, you should take into consideration the translation fees that are to be paid for documents that are not available in the Arabic language and other costs that you will have to incur during the litigation proceedings. You must understand that there are costs that you may not be able to claim in the court, such as the costs of consulting reports, phone calls, transportation, etc.

3- Depending on your Case, getting returns today may be better than waiting for Tomorrow

If you can get 60-70% of the amounts belonging to you, this may be a better option for you in case if you are in debt and do not have another income source. Such option allows you to avail benefit from the settlement amounts that you will receive to manage and correct your own business. This may not be the optimal option at all times, especially if you have enough financial resources to claim your full rights. However, you must carefully assess your ability to continue the litigation and to pay the fees of lawyers, translators, and other charges keeping in view your current financial situation before deciding to resort to litigation.

You should know how to resolve a dispute before resorting to litigation, you need to be sufficiently aware of how this is properly done by considering matter such as:

You should always make sure to receive at least 33-40% of the settlement value when signing the contract.

You should always make sure to have access to a fast mechanism to ensure collecting your due amounts through checks to guarantee that a fine will be imposed on the debtor, or he/she will be imprisoned or prevented from traveling.  This provides a means to threaten the debtor in case if he/she decided not to pay the due amounts.

You should always make sure to sign an executive warrant under the settlement agreement and indicate the dates of payment or parties’ obligations to make sure that in the event of any breach of the said condition of agreement, you can resort to the executive magistrate and avoid all dispute proceedings before the courts by enforcing the warrant directly.
