Can one dispute involve both civil and criminal proceedings?

Civil Cases & Dispute Resolution

Yes. The same facts can create separate civil and criminal consequences where the law supports both.

Examples include:

  • forged property documents;
  • fraudulent transactions;
  • assault causing compensable loss;
  • misappropriation combined with recovery claims.

The existence of one proceeding does not automatically eliminate the other.
