  1. civil suit

    A civil suit, also known as a civil lawsuit, is a legal action taken by one individual or entity against another in a civil court to resolve a legal dispute. Unlike a criminal case, which involves charges of criminal behavior, a civil suit typically involves disputes over rights, responsibilities, or liabilities, such as contract disputes, property disputes, personal injury cases, divorces, and other matters where one party claims to have been harmed by the actions or inactions of another. The outcome of a civil suit is usually a determination of liability and, if appropriate, an order for monetary damages or specific performance.-
