Breach of Contract in commercial litigation - Litigation involving claims that one party failed to fulfill their commercial obligations, resulting in potential financial losses or damages for the other party.

Fraudulent Misrepresentation and Deceit – This cause of action involves allegations that a party knowingly made false statements with the intent to mislead another party into a business transaction, causing financial damage due to reliance on those deceptive assertions.

Unjust Enrichment – In commercial litigation, this involves claims that the defendant unfairly benefited at the plaintiff’s expense without any juristic reason, thus having the plaintiff seek restitution to recover the value of the benefit unfairly received by the defendant.

Negligence – In commercial litigation, this involves claims that a party failed to exercise reasonable care in their business operations, leading to foreseeable harm or financial loss to another party due to their actions or omissions.

Conversion - In commercial litigation, this encompasses allegations that a party unlawfully took or used another's property, denying the rightful owner access and resulting in financial loss.

Breach of Fiduciary Duty - A party who undertakes to act as the fiduciary of another is under a duty to act in the interests of the beneficiary. Where the fiduciary allows their own personal interests to conflict with those of the beneficiary, or otherwise acts contrary to the beneficiary's interests, a claim may arise.

Breach of Privacy - An emerging area of law, courts have begun to recognize common law causes of action for breach of privacy in some jurisdictions.
