Answer» CIVIL CASEs The principle is always the same: A sues B for causing damage to A or to something belonging to A. How does a person cause damage? A person CAUSES damage, for example, by breaking a contract, by breaking an OBJECT belonging to SOMEONE, or by hurting someone. The principle is always the same: a person is accused of a crime (e.g., murder, assault, identity theft).
Note:
A crime can occur even if there is no "immediate" victim (e.g., the crime of DRUG possession).In Canada, people are CONSIDERED innocent until the evidence proves they are guilty.
