Civil Court

A Civil Court, particularly within District Courts, handles disputes between individuals or organizations that typically involve issues like contracts, property, and personal injuries. Unlike criminal courts, where the state prosecutes wrongdoings, civil courts resolve conflicts where one party believes another has caused them harm or failed to uphold their obligations. The outcomes often involve compensation or orders to do or stop doing something, rather than criminal penalties. Civil cases are usually initiated by a plaintiff filing a lawsuit against a defendant, and the court seeks to fairly adjudicate the matter based on evidence and legal arguments.
