What is the difference between a crimanal court and a civil court?
Criminal Courts hear criminal cases, civil courts hear civil cases. In criminal cases there are 2 sides: The Prosecution (The Queen in the UK or The State in the US) and the Defendant (the accused individual or group of people). In criminal courts the case is always brought by the Prosecution who are prosecuting the Defendant for allegedly partaking in an illegal activity. If the Prosecution win then the Defendant is convicted (found guilty). If the Defendant wins he is acquitted (found innocent). If the Defendant is found guilty he is said to have committed a criminal offence or broken the law and may be imprisoned for this. In civil cases the 2 sides consist of an Applicant (the party bringing the case to Court) and the Respondent (the person answering the case). In civil cases, instead of one party being prosecuted by the other as with criminal courts, one party is SUED by the other. Civil courts often hear cases relating to e.g. breach of contract (which encompasses a huge range of cases - defaults on rent/mortgage payments, failure to provide an agreed fee in return for a service or vice-versa and breach of a previously made Court order). If one party successfully sues the other then the other party is liable to compensate the suing party (either financially or by providing some other remedy to the situation. They are not, however, guilty of a criminal offence or liable to be imprisoned.

How much time can you get for battery?
This is a difficult question to answer, because unlike provisions under the Qld Criminal Code, there is generally no "time" in terms of a jail sentence given under the law of torts. The remedies in the law of tort, under which battery exists, offers mainly nominal damages. Damages in the form of exemplary and aggravated damages. If you're worried about "time" the Criminal Code sets out provisions through which criminal assault is addressed. For common assault (which is similar to battery) an offender is liable for 3 years impriosonment. Then again, all relevant circumstances and factors of the offence must be taken into account.
