I want to know how it would work if the plaintiff proceeded on the case in good-faith but they lost the case on a technicality or other conclusion that doesn’t mean the defendant was found innocent - what happens then?
- shaki-dora 9y agoA civil trial doesn’t decide “guilt” and “innocence”. If plaintiffs lose, they were simply wrong in filing the lawsuit. It’s a risk they knew about, and they had all the decision-making power while their opponents had none. The word “technicality” is also misleading: every law has some justification, and if a plaintiff finds themselves on the wrong side of that law, they legitimately lost the lawsuit and should have never brought it.
