Civil Law

Overview

Civil Law regulates and protects the rights of individuals in our community.  

There is a difference between criminal law and civil law. For example, Civil Law can be used if someone gets injured by someone else’s behaviour. Whereas the main aim of criminal law is to prevent and punish behaviour that is undesirable in our community. One more important difference is by whom the charges can be filed: in Civil Law the private person can do this and in a criminal case it is the government who files in the charges.
