message: I have cut the following passage. There is no source. The words "much less serious" are an expression of opinion and need to be attributed to the person whose opinion they are. The statement is not obviously true. In particular, the number of regulatory offences and the controversial content of some offences makes it questionable.

A possible source: . It is specifically concerned with torts that are not also crimes. James500 (talk) 02:18, 9 April 2014 (UTC)

message: Well, as a citizen of the continent I may have a different perspective, but IMHO there are different fields of law outside both civil and criminal law, like tax law, administrative law and constitutional law. Criminal differs from civil insofar that in criminal law one of the parties is the government (the state), but that applies to tax law as well. Rbakels (talk) 11:33, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Civil law means non-criminal law"  

message: Please note that we have had the following text since 21 February 2011, three years before the source cited in the article was first published:
:In civil law cases, the "burden of proof" requires the plaintiff to convince the trier of fact (whether judge or jury) of the plaintiff's entitlement to the relief sought. This means that the plaintiff must prove each element of the claim, or cause of action, in order to recover.

message: I think the present page name is unsatisfactory. Civil law, in the sense of law that is not criminal law, is partly statutory. And one of the meanings of "common law" is law that is not statutory. Replacing it with "Anglo-American law" would avoid that problem, but would not prevent confusion with law that is not military law. James500 (talk) 23:39, 9 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Page name

message: This article is about the concept of non-criminal law in Anglo-American law. It is not about the concept of private law in Roman law, which is something different. I am therefore going to cut the following passage from the article, because it is about Ukrainian private law, which is not within the scope of this article.
:Principles of civil law are basic principles, the most general guidelines (principles) of civil law that have obligatory nature by virtue of their legal assignment. The meaning of civil law principles lies in the fact that they:  Principles of civil law  
:1) reflect essence of social orientation and major branch features of civil regulation, i.e. each further norm in its content must be penetrated by the principle of civil law;
:2) are taken into account when concluding non-nominate contracts;
:3) are taken into account when applying the analogy of law;
:4) are taken into account when protecting the legally protected interest.
The above passage probably belongs, if anywhere, in the article Civil law (area). James500 (talk) 23:35, 19 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title: Irrelevant material that belongs somewhere else

message: I believe this article is factually wrong:"It is often suggested that civil proceedings are taken for the purpose of obtaining compensation for injury..." I believe that 'compensation' is wrong, or at least highly misleading. Civil proceedings are undertaken for relief, enforcement, or compensation. (Not being a lawyer or a legal scholar, this is just my 2 cents). A judgement may require a certain action, or cessation of acts, or monetary (or other) compensation as well as punitive awards, it may also (I think) require 3rd party (eg law enforcement) intervention. In common usage, "compensation" implies either monetary (or other real property asset) exchange and wouldn't, for example, be considered to be the correct term for a "cease and desist" order.Abitslow (talk) 19:20, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: Civil law (common law) →  – Civil law, as a branch of law, exists not only in the common law legal systems, but also in the continental law, legal systems based on Roman law. Civil law is one of areas of private law. BlueDolin (talk) 08:56, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  Because tort law is not called "civil law" in civil law systems. Only common law systems use the term "civil law" to refer to tort law. The use of the term "civil law" to refer to tort law (as opposed to criminal law) is unique to common law systems. Rreagan007 (talk) 16:00, 25 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: "Civil law", in the sense used in this article, is a lot wider than tort law. The fact that you expressed yourself in this way tells me that you are not a lawyer and so should perhaps be wary of opining on this topic. MrStoofer (talk) 15:01, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: As a matter of fact, I am a licensed attorney in a common law jurisdiction. And to the extent this article discusses things outside of tort law (or other non-criminal law actions such as administrative fines or civil infractions) under the common law legal system, it is exceeding its scope. That material belongs in the Civil law (legal system) article, not here. Rreagan007 (talk) 17:18, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
