siviilioikeudellisessa

Siviilioikeudellisessa refers to something pertaining to civil law. Civil law systems are a major group of legal systems around the world, originating from Roman law and characterized by comprehensive, continuously updated legal codes that specify all matters capable of being brought before a court, the various means by which they can be proved, and the rules by which the court must apply them. In practice, the primary source of law is legislation, or statutes, which are codified. This contrasts with common law systems, where judicial precedent is a significant source of law alongside statutes.

In a siviilioikeudellisessa context, disputes typically involve private parties, such as individuals or corporations, rather than the state prosecuting an individual. Examples of matters falling under civil law include contract disputes, property law, family law, torts (civil wrongs), and inheritance. The goal of civil litigation is generally to resolve disputes between parties and provide remedies, such as monetary damages or specific performance, rather than to punish an offender. The burden of proof in civil cases typically rests with the plaintiff, who must demonstrate their case by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning it is more likely than not that their claim is true. The terminology siviilioikeudellisessa highlights the nature of the legal proceedings as being within the domain of private law.
