Civil vs Criminal Cases – What’s the Difference?

Home - Blog Detail

Many people don’t realize the legal system in South Africa handles civil and criminal matters very differently.

Civil cases involve disputes between individuals or entities—like unpaid contracts, divorce, or injury claims.
Criminal cases, on the other hand, are brought by the state and involve offenses like theft, assault, or fraud.

In both, you have the right to legal representation. Our attorneys are experienced in both civil and criminal litigation, ensuring your side of the story is heard in the courtroom.
