Civil Liability and Administrative Liability. A Comparative Approach

Abstract

As a main form of administrative liability, contraventional liability intervenes in the case of anti-social acts with less social danger (in principle) than that of a crime, but similar to criminal liability in multiple aspects: the public character of coercion. Like the acts criminalized by the criminal law, the acts targeted by the contraventional norms can have a complex character, attracting both contraventional and civil (delictual) liability (Pricope, 2013; p. 332).
