What are some examples of civil law?

Answer 1

Suing a store for selling you faulty items, suing someone for copying your work (copyright), and suing someone for owning something that broke a part of your body, like if you're a Basketball player, you trip on your neighbor's dog on your way to the tournament and you break your wrist and can't play.

Answer 2

Answer 4

Disputes of a noncriminal nature between two or more parties, either individuals or businesses are the basis of civil law. Civil law is generally applied in one of three areas: contracts, property, and torts.

An example of civil law based on the branch of torts is:

During a Golf game, Royce carelessly strikes Silvera with a golf club and injures him. Royce has committed a tort. A civil court will probably order Royce to pay monetary damages to Silvera.

Answer 5

A civil case is any type of case where one is not facing criminal penalties for an offense. When you are being sued it's a civil case. Other civil cases include divorce, incompetency, involuntary mental health or substance abuse evaluation or treatment, or domestic abuse injunctions/restraining orders. Many of these civil cases can turn into criminal cases if one is held in contempt of court for failure to follow a judge's order.

Answer 6

A civil law suit is one that an individual would bring (as opposed to the police who prosecute under criminal law). For instance if you purchased faulty goods from an shop and they would not replace them or give you you money back you could take them to court to make them pay. This would be a civil case.
