Antonyms for the term "criminal case" include civil case, lawsuit, and dispute. These terms refer to legal matters that are settled through a different process than criminal cases. A civil case involves disputes between two parties, such as a landlord-tenant dispute, a contract dispute, or a defamation case. Lawsuits can be filed in civil courts to seek justice or to obtain compensation for damages. Disputes, on the other hand, can be resolved through alternate dispute resolution methods such as mediation or arbitration. In contrast to a criminal case, these proceedings do not involve criminal charges, and the penalties imposed are typically monetary damages or injunctions, rather than imprisonment or fines imposed by a criminal court.
