Issues-Civil Conspiracy is a legal term that is used to describe a situation in which two or more people agree to commit an unlawful act or to commit a lawful act by unlawful means. This type of agreement is a civil wrong and can give rise to a lawsuit between the parties. There are two types of civil conspiracy: tortious conspiracy and criminal conspiracy. In a tortious conspiracy, the parties agree to commit a tort, such as fraud or negligence, that results in damages. In a criminal conspiracy, the parties agree to commit a crime, such as theft or murder, that results in criminal penalties. In either case, the parties are liable for any damages caused by their agreement.
