civil liability

potential responsibility for payment of damages or other court-enforcement in a lawsuit, as distinguished from criminal liability, which means open to punishment for a crime.

佢問你依家有冇俾人suit 緊 (訴訟), 會有潛在的責任[ (potential responsibility) 例如: 俾錢賠損失(payment of damages), 不過唔係刑事懲罰果隻; (criminal liability) (punishment for a crime)

Civil Liability 即是透過民事訴訟，一般來說，burden of proof 較 criminal liability 為低。例如，tort law，defendant 要face的通常是civil liability。如果claimant 勝數，那defendant很大可能要賠償。例如，告醫院醫生negligent，便是tort law的一個example。
