Civil dispute resolution
Class notes:
Civil law covers areas of law that criminal doesn’t like business, negligence and
contracts.
Claimant is the person who suffered loss or damage.

Defendant is the person who caused the loss or damaged.

The aim of civil law is to protect people and businesses in our society. The law
sets out the rights and duties for businesses and individuals. Civil law seeks to
achieve compensation for the damage or the loss made.
Standard of proof is the balance of probabilities.
Balance of probabilities means that the judge must be more than 50% sure
that the defendant is liable.
Burden of proof means the claimant must prove their case on the balance of
probabilities.
