Besides, you are most likely to succeed only with a comprehensive approach, including obtaining possibility of subsequent execution (non-execution) of a decision, gathering and calling evidence, disputing the opponent’s position on each particular statement and on the whole, and taking all other necessary and sufficient measures dictated by the client’s ‘procedural’ position and actual circumstances.
