I just read someting and it's thrown me off a little bit. Please explain , thanks.Do Civil Cases Need an Actus Reus and Mens Rea in order to be an offence?
Civil decisions are legalized revenge. They mean to equalize and compensate individuals who have suffered some sort of damage, whether financial, injury, etc.
You need no guilty mind to bring a civil case. You can be sued for accidentally trespassing on someone's land or for a child's death because they dug in your trashcan and drank Windex.Do Civil Cases Need an Actus Reus and Mens Rea in order to be an offence?
where r u in uk or us? i understand both concepts but only pertaining to the UK law but i have not heard of it in relation to civil actions. i always thought they were concepts within criminal law; the physical act and the mental intent. Both elements need to be present for a criminal act to b committed although they need not be at the same time. i hope this helps.
