| Thus, it is entirely possible for one to be free from civil ability directly arising from a violation of the penal law and to still be liable civilly based on contract or by laws other than the criminal law.[32] Such civil actions may proceed independently of the criminal proceedings and regardless of the result of the criminal action,[33] subject however, to the caveat that the offended party cannot recover damages twice for the same act or omission.[34] | |||||
