Civil law deals with which type of rights?

• A. Civil law
• B. Criminal law
• C. Public law
• D. Administrative law

Answer: (A)

Civil law focuses on private rights and remedies between individuals and organizations. When private parties have disputes—such as a breach of contract, a tort that caused harm, or issues over property or family matters—civil law provides the framework to resolve the dispute and award remedies like damages or injunctions. It’s about enforcing private duties and compensating private harm, rather than punishing crimes. Criminal law, in contrast, deals with offenses against society and penalties imposed by the state; public law covers the relationship between individuals and the government, including constitutional matters; administrative law governs how government agencies operate. So, for questions about private rights and disputes between private parties, civil law is the correct category.
