Civil Litigation

Civil litigation is at the core of Silver Crest Law's practice. Shreyas brings focused, strategic advocacy to every dispute — whether at the negotiating table or before the courts. Our approach is to understand your matter fully, identify the most efficient path to resolution, and pursue it with precision and tenacity.

Courts & Tribunals

We represent plaintiffs and defendants before the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, the Ontario Court of Justice, the Divisional Court, and the Small Claims Court. We also appear before various administrative tribunals including the Landlord and Tenant Board.

Contract & Commercial Disputes

Breach of contract is among the most common sources of civil litigation. We act for businesses and individuals in disputes arising from failed transactions, non-payment, breach of warranties, and failure to perform contractual obligations. We provide frank advice on the merits, the likely costs, and the realistic range of outcomes before recommending whether to litigate.

• Breach of contract and debt collection
• Enforcement of judgments and garnishments
• Shareholder and partnership disputes
• Construction and contractor disputes
• Fraud and misrepresentation claims
• Defamation and reputational matters
• Unjust enrichment and restitution claims

Property & Real Estate Disputes

We act in disputes involving real property, including boundary and easement disputes, failed real estate transactions, deposit disputes, title issues, and claims against vendors, purchasers, or real estate agents. We also handle construction lien matters and claims against contractors for defective or incomplete work.

Injunctions & Urgent Relief

Where immediate court intervention is required — to restrain a party from taking harmful action, preserve assets, or enforce an obligation — we are experienced in bringing and defending urgent motions for injunctive and interlocutory relief.

Landlord & Tenant Board

We represent landlords and tenants before the Landlord and Tenant Board in matters including non-payment of rent, eviction applications, above-guideline rent increases, maintenance and repair disputes, and applications to terminate tenancies for cause. We provide efficient, effective representation at LTB hearings and on appeal.

Small Claims Court

The Small Claims Court handles matters up to $50,000. Many clients have valid claims but are unsure whether it is worth pursuing. We offer focused, cost-effective representation at the Small Claims Court level and can assist with the full process from filing to enforcement of judgment.

Appeals

Where a decision has gone against you at trial or before a tribunal, we assess the grounds for appeal and, where viable, pursue appellate remedies before the Divisional Court or the Court of Appeal for Ontario.
