Civil and Public law (summary)

There are two main categories in law – civil law and public law. Civil law consists debates among human (contracts, torts, probate), and public law consists debates between people and nation (crimes, constitutional law, international law). Almost all countries make singularity between civil and criminal procedures. In a criminal action, proof are more substantial than in a civil one. Criminal procedures start by the state, civil actions usually start by people. But sometimes criminal procedures may consist with civil procedures, for example when the loser of civil case refuses to pay the fine, he can be sent to pay criminal penalty too. In English law it is possible to bring a civil case to the police when it does something wrong against the questioned people.
