Civil matters refer to legal disputes between individuals or organizations that are not criminal in nature. These disputes can involve a wide range of issues, such as contracts, property ownership, personal injury, divorce, and employment discrimination. Civil matters are typically resolved through a civil lawsuit, which is a legal proceeding in which one party (the plaintiff) seeks to recover damages or other relief from another party (the defendant) for a harm that the plaintiff alleges was caused by the defendant’s actions or failure to act.
