tsiviilnõuded

Tsiviilnõuded refer to claims made in civil law proceedings. These are typically disputes between private parties, such as individuals or organizations, seeking to resolve a disagreement over rights, obligations, or damages. Unlike criminal proceedings, which are initiated by the state against an individual for an offense, civil claims are brought by one party (the plaintiff) against another (the defendant).

The purpose of a tsiviilnõue is generally to seek compensation for a loss or injury, or to compel a party to perform a specific action or refrain from doing something. Common examples include breach of contract, personal injury claims arising from negligence, property disputes, or family law matters such as divorce and child custody. The burden of proof in civil cases usually rests with the plaintiff, who must demonstrate their claim to the court, often on a balance of probabilities.

Resolution of tsiviilnõuded can occur through various means, including negotiation, mediation, arbitration, or a formal court trial. If a judgment is made in favor of the plaintiff, the court may order the defendant to pay damages, specific performance, or other remedies. The concept of tsiviilnõuded is fundamental to the functioning of a legal system that allows individuals and entities to seek redress for grievances and enforce their legal rights without resorting to self-help.
