The purpose of a court case is to shed light on a disagreement or a crime, and to make sure people respect the law. At the end of the case, the judge makes a decision and sometimes orders financial compensation or a punishment.
Two Main Types of Cases: Civil and Criminal
In the Quebec legal system, a person can be brought to court in a civil case or a criminal case. The differences between these two kinds of cases include the objectives, the deadlines for taking legal action and the level of evidence needed to convince the judge.
Civil Cases
In these cases, a person or company asks a judge to settle a civil problem, such as
a problem concerning an inheritance,a problem involving a contract, ora family problem, such as divorce or custody of children.
A person can also ask a judge for compensation for damage suffered because of someone else's fault. This type of case is called a "civil responsibility" case. For example, if someone sues a plumber for poor repair work that caused a flood in her kitchen, the judge can order the plumber to pay money to compensate her for the water damage.
Civil cases deal with a wide range of topics, and many different rules apply to them. The "Civil Cases" column in the table below provides information on "civil responsibility" cases only.
Criminal Cases
The reason these cases come to court is always the same: a person is taken to court because she is accused of a crime. The judge, and sometimes a jury, must consider the evidence presented during a trial to decide whether the accused is guilty or innocent.
Most crimes and their punishments are described in the Criminal Code of Canada.
Some crimes involve other people, including
assault,murder,sexual assault, andidentity theft.
Other crimes have to do with objects, such as drug possession and making fake money.
Main Differences
CIVIL CASES
CRIMINAL CASES
The principle is always the same: A sues B for causing damage to A or to something belonging to A.
How does a person cause damage? A person causes damage, for example, by breaking a contract, by breaking an object belonging to someone, or by hurting someone.The principle is always the same: a person is accused of a crime (e.g., murder, assault, identity theft).
Note:
A crime can occur even if there is no "immediate" victim (e.g., the crime of drug possession).In Canada, people are considered innocent until the evidence proves they are guilty.
