I think that's more of a criminal case thing, while this is a civil matter.
Errr, perhaps it's because this is civil matter ("lawsuit"), not a criminal case?
Aren't you talking about criminal rather than civil law?
How is this a civil matter and not criminal?
That's a criminal matter, there's no applicability to a civil action.
There’s no _crime_, presumably, but far less clear that there’s no civil case.
The key words in that sentence are "criminal prosecution". This is a civil suit.
Quite possibly, but that's a civil issue, not a criminal one.
You can't. Civil court is different from criminal court. The standards are different.
That might be, but it's a CIVIL issue not a CRIMINAL one.
