A civil indictment is a formal accusation issued by a grand jury in a civil case, often related to matters such as fraud or misconduct, rather than criminal offenses. It serves to initiate legal proceedings against an individual or entity, allowing the plaintiff to seek remedies or damages in court. Unlike criminal indictments, which can lead to penalties like imprisonment, civil indictments typically result in financial compensation or other civil remedies. However, the term "indictment" is more commonly associated with criminal law.
