The defendant must file and provide you with a Response to Civil Claim in response to your Notice of Civil Claim. During the next stage of a Supreme Court proceeding, known as ''discovery'', the parties exchange documents and may cross-examine each other outside of court. Finally, if the case is not resolved, it will proceed to ''trial''. At trial, you will need to present your evidence through witnesses and the defendant will need to do the same. At the end of the trial, the judge (or in some cases, a jury) will decide who wins.
