Which is a disadvantage to using courts to resolve disputes?

• A. Proceedings can be expensive.
• B. Proceedings are always quick.
• C. Accessibility is unlimited.
• D. They rarely involve any paperwork.

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that court processes tend to be costly. Court fees, attorney or lawyer charges, and the expenses tied to long, drawn-out proceedings can add up quickly. This financial burden can deter people from bringing a claim or defending one, making courts a less accessible option for resolving disputes. In contrast, the other perceptions aren’t generally accurate: court cases can be slow, access to courts is not unlimited for everyone due to costs and complexity, and there is usually a lot of paperwork involved.
