Civil Courts: Powers & Functions
Civil courts have the jurisdiction to hear and decide non-criminal cases. Their powers and functions include adjudicating disputes related to property, contracts, family law (such as divorce and custody), and civil wrongs like negligence or breach of contract. They issue judgments and orders to enforce rights, award damages, or grant injunctions.
Civil courts also handle appeals from lower courts, review administrative actions, and may have specialized divisions for family, probate, and small claims matters, ensuring legal disputes are resolved according to civil law principles.
