Civil law and criminal law are
two broad and separate entities under law with separate sets of laws and
punishments for offences committed under each of them. The distinct differences
between criminal law and civil law are in the type of action against the
defendant and the type of remedy or punishment sought. A civil case involves
individuals in a dispute and generally ends in monetary reward, whereas the
Criminal cases are considered crimes against society and usually end in a
prison, a hefty fine or both, depending upon the severity of the crime
committed.
