Which one of the following best describes the relationship between crimes and torts?
If a driver speeds excessively and causes injury to a person, the prosecutor must choose whether to allow a tort action or a criminal action.
The standard of proof for a criminal action is that the crime is more likely to have occurred than not.
The level of proof for a tort action is different from that for a criminal action. As a result, there can be different outcomes for a criminal action compared to a tort action involving the same facts.
If a crime is prosecuted, then no further court action is permitted; the wrongdoer need face only one court proceeding.
A tort action is a public matter, whereas a criminal action is a private matter between the wrongdoer and the victim.
