Civil law is the part of the law that deals with matters of the state such as common law, private law and municipal law. Generally, involves the dispute over property, commercial transactions or family matters such as divorce and adoption. Civil law generally leads to some kind of compensation for the offended party, whereas criminal law looks to punish and rehabilitate the offender.

The civil courts are:

• County court
  

• High Court
  

• House of Lords (matters of statute and precedents)
  

Criminal law is the part of the law concerned with illegal acts committed against individuals or society as a whole. Criminal law uses the power of the courts to seek punishment for these offences, and is primarily concerned with punishment, deterrence and rehabilitation.

Criminal courts are:

• Magistrates courts
  

• Crown courts
  

• Queens Bench Divisional
  

• The Court of Appeal
  

• House of Lords
