Question

Civil court cases are filed by which of the following people?

State prosecutor
Private individual
Federal judge
Defendant

Answer 1

Private individual

Step-by-step explanation:

A civil case usually begins when one person or business (called the "plaintiff") claims to have been harmed by the actions of another person or business (called the "defendant"). The plaintiff starts a court case by filing a "complaint" (a document that outlines the plaintiff’s facts and legal theories and makes a request for relief).
