The main difference between civil and criminal fraud is:
  1. The duration of the case
  2. The jurisdiction of the jury
  3. Burden of proof
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - Burden of proof is the main difference between civil and criminal law. In criminal cases, prosecution must prove the occurrence of fraud, whereas, in case of civil fraud, there is not much need to dig down deep as the dynamics of the case are mostly well-settled. Thereby, in civil lawsuits, the burden of proof rests with the defense.
