    Distinguish between a criminal case and a civil case.

    Answer:

    Civil cases involve disputes between individuals, organisations, etc. over legal rights such as ownership of property, payment of dues and honouring of contracts. Criminal cases, on the other hand, are concerned with crimes or offences against the society as whole. A civil case is filed by an individual or a body, while a criminal case is filed by the government. The decision in a civil case involves the payment of money or the settlement of rights, while that in a criminal case involves a fine, imprisonment or even the death penalty (in rare cases).
