civil offense

Read a random definition: ex solemnitate

A quick definition of civil offense:

A civil offense is when someone does something wrong that hurts another person, but it's not a crime. Instead of going to jail, the person who did the wrong thing might have to pay money to the person they hurt. This is called a tort. There are different types of torts, like intentional torts (when someone meant to hurt someone else) and negligent torts (when someone didn't mean to hurt someone else, but they were careless). Sometimes, the government can also do something wrong and hurt someone, and that's called a government tort.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A civil wrong, other than breach of contract, for which a remedy may be obtained, usually in the form of damages; a breach of a duty that the law imposes on persons who stand in a particular relation to one another.

Example: A driver who causes an accident due to their negligence commits a civil offense. The injured party can sue the driver for damages to compensate for their injuries and losses.

Explanation: A civil offense is a type of legal wrong that does not involve a criminal act but can still cause harm to another person. In the example given, the driver's negligence caused harm to the other party, and they can seek compensation through a civil lawsuit. The purpose of a civil offense is to provide a legal remedy for those who have suffered harm due to the actions of others.
