Legal action refers to the process of taking a dispute or case to a court or legal authority for resolution. It involves initiating a lawsuit or legal proceedings against an individual, organization, or government entity to assert one’s rights, seek justice, or obtain a remedy for a legal grievance. Legal actions can include various forms, such as civil lawsuits, criminal prosecutions, administrative proceedings, or other formal legal processes. The objectives of legal action can range from seeking compensation for damages, enforcing a contract, or addressing violations of law, to defending against accusations or claims brought by others. Ultimately, legal action is a fundamental mechanism within the legal system, allowing individuals and entities to enforce their rights and resolve conflicts through established legal procedures.
