Civil law primarily deals with disputes between whom?

• A. Private individuals
• B. Government and individual
• C. International organizations
• D. Corporations only

Answer: (A)

Civil law focuses on resolving private disputes and protecting private rights and duties. It covers relationships between private individuals and private entities—such as people and businesses—in areas like contracts, negligence (torts), property, and family law. The government is not the primary party in civil law disputes; it appears as a regulator or in public law matters. Therefore, the best answer is private individuals. Corporations are private entities too, so saying “corporations only” is too narrow, and disputes involving governments or international organizations fall more into public or international law rather than the core civil-law arena.
