GLOSSARY

Civil liability definition

What does Civil liability mean?

Legal obligations that arise from private wrongs or breaches of contract which are not acts that are prevented under legislation (criminal acts or public wrongs).

Civil liability gives a person the right to obtain redress from another person, for example, to sue for damages for personal injury, or to apply for an injunction to stop behaviour that is causing a nuisance or damage to the environment. The burden of proof for civil cases is 'the balance of probability' which is lower than for criminal matters.
