Imperative law refers to laws that are mandatory and must be followed by individuals and organizations. These laws are enforced by the government and failure to comply can result in penalties or sanctions.
Civil law, on the other hand, refers to the body of laws that govern private disputes between individuals or organizations. These laws are concerned with issues such as contracts, property, family matters, and personal injury. Civil law is based on codified statutes and is typically enforced through civil lawsuits.
