-There are various diferences between civil courts and criminal courts for example if someone has been charged
with a crime such as robbery, that is a mater for the criminal law court. If someone is suing someone or being
sued, for example in a personal injury claim, then that is the mater of a civil court.
-In the civil court the cases are decided by a judge. There is no jury as there is in in the criminal court, and most
cases will be held at county level. Which includes the ‘small claims track’ which covers amounts of less than £5000.
If the case is more serious then the case can be passed on to the High Court. In additon to personal injury litgaton,
the civil court covers breaches of contract and other maters that arise between two individuals or companies.
-In criminal law cases the trial are held at magistrate’s court for minor maters or in the crown courts in more
serious maters. Cases will usually be brought by the police and the Crown Prosecuton Service. Customs authorites
and environmental monitoring bodies can also introduce cases. Only the criminal court can sentence a person to
jail.
-In the civil court, the claimant must provide proof and the judge decide the outcome on the balance of probability
which means that if it looks likely that the claim is genuine, it will be awarded in favour of the claimant. Under
criminal law, the charges must be proven beyond reasonable doubt, which means that the court must be absolutely
sure of guilt to return that verdict.
