During the statute of limitations stipulated by law, the people's court requested by the right holder shall compel the obligor to fulfill the obligations assumed. After the statutory statute of limitations expires, if the right holder exercises the right of request, the people's court will no longer provide protection.
If the case is not resolved in a timely manner, it is very likely to miss the time to protect one's rights. At that time, there will be no way to assert one's own rights, and one can only hope that time will turn back.
2. Evidence issues
(1) The longer the delay, the more difficult it is to retrieve evidence
Generally speaking, the longer the delay, the more difficult it is to retrieve evidence.
For example, in a traffic accident case, it is necessary to view surveillance footage. If not resolved in a timely manner, it is likely that it will not be available for retrieval after a period of time;
For example, if a worker wants to protect their rights, they need the company's clock in records, but if the time is too long, the company may no longer retain the relevant records, making it difficult to provide evidence at that time.
(2) Evidence may be lost or omitted
Some parties have already collected evidence and believe that there is no major problem, so they go to deal with other matters. After a period of time, if you go back and organize, it is inevitable that some evidence will be missed, and even key evidence may be lost, leading to a defeat.
3. The longer the delay, the higher the time cost
A large proportion of parties suffer from procrastination and are always lazy to handle cases. In addition, the process of filing a lawsuit is already lengthy, requiring time and effort. Over time, the time taken up by the case has far exceeded what should have been spent.
As the saying goes, 'an inch of time is worth an inch of gold.' Spending too much time, even if the case is ultimately resolved, is not worth the loss.
4. Lawyers' enthusiasm is affected
(1) Many times, a lawyer's attitude towards a case depends on the attitude of the parties themselves.
If the parties themselves are not concerned about the case, even if the lawyer is initially enthusiastic, it will be difficult to pay attention to the case again over time.
(2) Lawyer's impression of the relevant case becomes blurred
Lawyers are usually busy with work and have a lot of tasks at hand. If the client is unwilling to cooperate in handling the case, the lawyer's impression of their case will become blurred. This is a very dangerous thing, it must be avoided.
5. Risk avoidance
The advantage of resolving legal issues as soon as possible is that it can timely avoid risks.
For example, if the other party may want to transfer property, we can take immediate measures to avoid any potential risks;
For example, over time, the other party may go missing, which increases the difficulty of the case.
6. Criminal cases cannot be delayed
Compared to other types of cases, criminal cases can be considered the most time sensitive. It is not an exaggeration to say that meeting the parties involved in the first place can even save their fate.
When encountering criminal cases, it is essential to grasp the "golden time" and not procrastinate.
7. The parties involved may forget key details
When encountering legal issues, be sure to solve them while the memory is most vivid. If left unresolved for a long time and key details are forgotten, it may lead to inconsistencies in the statements before and after, giving the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it and even causing the judge to not believe it, which may result in losing the case.
It can be seen that resolving legal issues must be done early and cannot be delayed.
