Explanation
A civil investigation is the type of investigation that applies when malicious behavior is suspected between two organizations. A civil investigation is a legal process that involves a dispute or a claim between two or more parties, usually over money, property, or rights. A civil investigation is initiated by one party, called the plaintiff, who files a lawsuit against another party, called the defendant, who allegedly caused harm or damage to the plaintiff. A civil investigation may involve the collection and analysis of evidence, such as documents, records, witnesses, or experts, to prove or disprove the allegations or the liability of the parties. A civil investigation may result in a settlement or a trial, where a judge or a jury decides the outcome and the compensation for the plaintiff. A civil investigation differs from a criminal investigation, which involves a violation of the law or a public offense, and is initiated by the state or the government against a suspect or an offender. A criminal investigation may result in an arrest, a prosecution, or a conviction, where the offender may face penalties, such as fines, probation, or imprisonment.
