What should the defendant in a civil lawsuit do if he is caught in a criminal case?

Refers to a person who has a civil rights and obligations dispute, brings a lawsuit in his own name and requests the court to exercise civil jurisdiction to protect his civil rights. Refers to the participants who have a direct interest in the final outcome of the case and have a significant impact on the criminal proceedings. 1. What should I do if the defendant in a civil lawsuit is caught in a criminal case? It should be handled in accordance with the principle of criminal before civil. The trial of a civil case shall be suspended until the criminal case is closed. Two, the civil case has not yet been filed, the defendant was detained (no agent), can the civil lawsuit proceed smoothly? The answer to this question is undoubtedly yes. Because the current law in our country does not stipulate that citizens are suspected of criminal detention, the plaintiff may not exercise the right of appeal. If the law does not prohibit it, citizens can exercise it. As long as the acceptance conditions stipulated in Article 108 of the Civil Procedure Law are met, citizens can exercise their litigation rights. Article 8 of the Civil Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) clearly stipulates that "parties in civil litigation enjoy equal litigation rights. When trying civil cases, the people's courts shall guarantee and facilitate the parties to exercise their litigation rights, and all parties are equal in the application of laws. Therefore, the court should not deprive citizens of the right to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests because the defendant is detained. After examining the relevant materials of the plaintiff, the people's court shall accept the case if it considers that it meets the conditions for filing a case. After accepting the case, the following facts should be ascertained and dealt with according to different situations: 1. If a criminal case has an impact on a civil case, the civil case shall be tried after the judgment of the criminal case; 2. If it is a civil case caused by a criminal case, an incidental civil action can be filed if it meets the conditions. If the defendant is indeed detained on suspicion of a crime, according to the principle of criminal before civil and the provisions of Article 136 (6) of the Civil Procedure Law, it is more conducive to finding out the facts of the case and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of both the original and the defendant. 3. If the criminal case has no influence on the civil case, the civil case may be tried directly without waiting for the judgment of the criminal case. Third, should arrest be imposed after criminal detention? Transfer and arrest after criminal detention may not necessarily result in sentencing. Being arrested after criminal detention is not necessarily related to whether he will be sentenced to criminal punishment by the court. Because there is also a procedure for examining and prosecuting, in this procedure, there may be three results: statutory non-prosecution, non-prosecution due to insufficient evidence, and discretionary non-prosecution. So if you want to exempt or mitigate criminal punishment, I suggest you communicate with the entrusted lawyer and actively seek evidence favorable to the defendant. Citizens have disputes with others in their daily lives, and if they cannot be resolved through consultation, they can also be resolved through litigation and other means. Then when a lawsuit is filed, it is also necessary to submit a complaint to the local court, and at the same time submit relevant materials and evidence, and then the court will make a final judgment according to the actual situation of the case and relevant evidence.
