Example

A city district hires a builder to fix a road, but the builder does a bad job. The district can file a lawsuit against the builder in the appropriate court, and the builder can also sue the district if they think the district didn’t pay on time.

Because the law lets the district be a party in any proper court, both the district and the builder can bring their case to a court that has the right to hear it, unless another specific law says otherwise.

This law says that a district can go to court to sue someone or be taken to court to be sued, unless another law says something different.
