Civil liability is a way for two people who disagree on something to have it settled by a magistrate. Because of court costs, it only usually happens when there's real money or property involved and the two parties can not come to an understanding on their own.

Most often, a 'lawsuit' is filed simply to scare the other person into conceding their point. It costs very little to have a lawyer draw up a document claiming to be in the process of filing papers for court.
