Possibility of filing criminal and civil cases at the same time

Hi.

I am currently facing a criminal lawsuit from my previous employer. This criminal case has not been finalized and there are some hearings left. At the same time, the employer has put a civil lawsuit against me.

My question is whether it is possible for the company to put 2 kinds of lawsuits and both criminal and civil lawsuits can run at the same time?

Dear Questioner,

Yes, it is possible to simultaneously proceed with civil proceedings and criminal proceedings in the same matter, because these are proceedings of different types.

The purpose and objective of conducting these proceedings are different.

You can contact us on our phone or write to us on our email for detailed discussion and assistance in this regard.

Thanks
