A CC is a legal process where a judge can dismiss a criminal offense charge if: the crime committed was a misdemeanor; and the victim of the crime gets reimbursed, by the defendant, for any damages he suffered. Please note that for a civil compromise to even be available, an act must result in both criminal and civil liability. In civil compromises, once an injured party is reimbursed for any losses or damages, the following events typically occur: the victim appears before the court where the criminal case is pending; the victim acknowledges that he has received full compensation for his loss or damages, by the defendant; the victim states that he does not desire criminal prosecution of the misdemeanor that caused the damages; and the court may order that all criminal charges will be dismissed.
