What does civil law mean?
Civil law is the section of the law that deals with disputes between individuals or organisations. Rather than any sentence, custodial or otherwise, the end result is usually financial compensation. People experiencing social problems often need legal advice in areas such as relationship breakdown, debt, housing, domestic violence and benefits. Help is also available for asylum and immigration, education, employment, mental health and community care issues.
