CLAIMS

The main characteristics of civil offenses are initially the existence of a duty, the violation of which leads to a conductive right. It is the duty of care known in English law recognized in law and statute, and the breach of that duty, which is legislated in Cap. 148, gives a right of action for damages for the damage suffered by the plaintiff from the breach of duty of the defendant. Another key feature of civil offenses is liability for the offense committed. This responsibility must be determined by law and not between parties under the type of agreement. That is, the law itself should provide for the liability of the offender or wrongdoer and this type of liability cannot be determined by an agreement between the parties. Finally, an important feature of civil offenses is that it gives the right to file a lawsuit in order to request compensation or repair the damage. However, in addition to damages, some other remedy may also be requested, such as the issuance of a prohibitory order or restitution to the victim through publication (mainly in cases of defamation). Only those who are harmed or damaged can apply to the Court for reparation of the harm or damage they have suffered. But according to a principle of law which is also established as a provision in the Law in article 59, as a special defense, someone cannot be compensated for damage suffered when he voluntarily exposed himself to a state of affairs that causes a civil offense (the damaged, where he feels damaged). However, in the event that the injured party has passed away, the right to satisfaction and compensation is transferred or assigned by law to the administrators of his property, who can go to Court to satisfy the claim of the deceased. Regarding minors, under the law, a minor under 18 years of age can sue or be sued while if the minor is under 12 years of age he can sue but not be sued.
