private law

Private law governs relationships between individuals and organizations, focusing on disputes that do not involve the government. It includes areas such as contract law, where parties agree on terms; tort law, which addresses wrongs like negligence; property law, dealing with ownership and rights of use; and family law, covering marriage, divorce, and child custody. Private law seeks to resolve conflicts through legal agreements and courts, emphasizing the rights and obligations of private individuals rather than public interest or criminal issues. Essentially, it provides the framework for personal and business interactions.
