Unit 20 – UK legal systems and uniformed services.
Learning outcome 1.
In this unit I will be able to describe what it’s the difference between criminal law and civil
law, including different examples or case studies related to the topics and the UK legal
systems works.
Criminal law - We can define this as rules where the crimes will be taken by the criminal
law, that’s why it’s called criminal law, were the government will take actions of the criminal
acts to not harm any member of the public or be in danger.
Civil law- This can be described as a compensation between the people or different
organizations, for example if you work in a big company and accidentally you got injured,
the company will have to pay an amount required, if they denied to do the payment you can
sue them and the compensation will be higher or the same, depending of your injury.
In the world of the law there are different regulations, systems and different types of courts
especially between Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.
For example the legal system between UK and Scotland, there is a massive comparison in
the laws and how they can proceed with different cases.
