advantages of civil courts

legal expertise

all decision makers in the civil courts are experienced professional judges who have had years of experiences as lawyers too

reasoned decisions

all judges give reasons for their decisions in written judgements so the parties can understand the basis for the decision and appeal them if necessary

appeals process

all courts have an appeals process to a higher court

use of precedent

precedent is where like cases are treated alike so we have consistency of decision making as judges generally bind each other

legal funding

the community legal service has been set up to help those on low income have their civil courts cases funded by the state

remedies

the civil court can award numerous remedies including compensation (payment of money), injunctions (to stop something), specific performance (to order that something happens)
