the process of taking legal action

The process of taking a problem to a court so that a judge can decide what is right.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] wants to avoid litigation over [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "litigation" with "legislation". "Litigation" is the court process to solve a dispute, while "legislation" is a law or group of laws made by a government. Learners may also try to use "litigation" as a verb (e.g. *to litigation someone*), but the correct verb is "to litigate" or the phrase "to take legal action against someone."

legal action (Very close in meaning; slightly less formal and more common in everyday speech.) | legal proceedings (Focuses more on the individual steps and hearings inside the court process.)
متضاد الفاظ

a particular lawsuit or case

One specific legal case that is in court.

استعمال کا انداز: this litigation concerns [something]
عام غلطی:
Many learners try to say *"He filed a litigation"*, but native speakers more often say "He filed a lawsuit" or simply "He filed suit." "Litigation" can be used to refer to a specific case, but it is less often used with an article ("a litigation") than "lawsuit" is.

متضاد الفاظ
