Civil court losses in Western Australia can result in substantial financial judgments against you, including the other party's legal costs which can be tens of thousands of dollars. Court orders can force the sale of your assets, garnish your wages, or place liens on your property. Losing parties often face enforcement action including bailiff seizure of assets.
