In this context, the use of a civil litigation lawyer is no longer just a defensive option: it becomes a real strategic lever. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c5b1100 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"c5b1100\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/compagnieabgcj.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Palais_de_Justice_de_Montreal-scaled.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-5142\" alt=\"Montreal Courthouse\" srcset=\"https:\/\/compagnieabgcj.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Palais_de_Justice_de_Montreal-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/compagnieabgcj.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Palais_de_Justice_de_Montreal-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/compagnieabgcj.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Palais_de_Justice_de_Montreal-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/compagnieabgcj.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Palais_de_Justice_de_Montreal-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/compagnieabgcj.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Palais_de_Justice_de_Montreal-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/compagnieabgcj.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Palais_de_Justice_de_Montreal-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-78e7e19 elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default default\" data-id=\"78e7e19\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8b1ecf1\" data-id=\"8b1ecf1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dbba57 elementor-widget elementor-widget-title\" data-id=\"4dbba57\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"title.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t        \r\n                        <div class=\"theme-title style-1  \">\r\n                          <div class=\"ht-subtitle\"><h6>A central issue: judicial time as a risk factor<\/h6><span class=\"border-effect\"><\/span><span class=\"border-effect2\"><\/span><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t \r\n          <h2 class=\"text-anime-style\"> <\/h2>\r\n           \r\n        <\/div>\r\n                            \r\n                    \r\n\r\n\r\n        \t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23874fc elementor-widget elementor-widget-themeht-heading\" data-id=\"23874fc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"themeht-heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\r\n        <div class=\"\">\r\n\r\n          <p class=\" text-white\">The Quebec civil justice system is now confronted with a reality documented by institutional reports.
