Litigation Procedure that you should know one being involved in the lawsuit.

The petitioning party is responsible for requesting the court to issue the summons against the respondent. A reasonable amount of time is applied for the service. If the defendant is not domiciled in Thailand, the service of summons must be affected through diplomatic channels. Foreign judgments are not enforceable in Thailand. Like in most countries, the burden of proof in cases like criminal cases must be proof beyond a reasonable doubt. By the way, civil disputes like the breach of contract require more preponderance of evidence (called ‘the balance of probabilities’).

It becomes critical to have an experienced Thai lawyer in your corner.

Also, a litigation procedure in Thai courts is only conducted in the Thai language, and qualified Thai lawyers are permitted to conduct litigation in Thai courts.
