One of the most commonly Googled (and casually asked at weddings 🥴) questions is:
👉 “Sir, how do I know if my case is civil or criminal?”
Simple answer: If someone owes you money – it’s civil. If someone hits you with a bat – that’s criminal. 😄🏏
Let’s make it more official:
👨⚖️ Civil cases are disputes between private individuals or entities, usually over money, property, contracts, or rights. No one goes to jail – but you might get damages or an injunction.
👮♂️ Criminal cases involve offences against society at large (even if the victim is one person), like theft, assault, fraud, or murder. Conviction can lead to imprisonment, fines, or both.
