Civil Law
What is the Civil Law?
Civil law encompasses a broad spectrum of legal matters concerning disputes between individuals, private entities, or companies, diverging from the realm of criminal activity. In contrast to criminal law, which focuses on offenses against the state, civil law primarily revolves around conflicts and disagreements among private parties. Civil courts serve as the arenas where these disputes are adjudicated, aiming to resolve conflicts and provide remedies or compensations to the aggrieved parties. Unlike criminal matters, civil cases typically do not involve the direct intervention of law enforcement or the police, unless specifically directed by the competent authority or court.
​
The scope of civil law is extensive, encompassing a diverse range of disputes related to property, contracts, family matters, and more. Property disputes, including ownership rights, declarations, injunctions, recovery of payments, and possession of property, constitute a significant segment within civil matters. Additionally, civil law addresses issues such as specific relief, eviction of tenants, breach of agreements, family settlements, probate of wills, partition actions, and enforcement of specific performance acts among various other disputes.
​
Civil law proceedings primarily seek resolution through legal remedies and compensations rather than punitive measures. The objective is to provide equitable resolutions that redress grievances, enforce rights, and offer remedies, often in the form of monetary compensation or court orders mandating specific actions or obligations. These legal proceedings are conducted in civil courts, providing a platform for individuals and entities to seek redressal for grievances and disputes arising in various facets of their private lives or business interactions.
