Abstract

The existence of relationship between discussions in Criminal Law and Civil Law, in spite of independence of this two field, is an undeniable and apparent fact. Rules of Civil Law have a significant effect on Criminal Law, especially in financial offences. Financial offences include intervention in financial rights and interests of other persons. Answer to this question that if individuals have such rights and interests in the property which is the subject of offence, for considering the person that invaded this rights and interest guilty, is find in related sections of Civil Law, including in law of properties and contracts. Most offences happen because of violation of rights that deduce from civil rules. Understanding the parts that is under the direct and indirect influence of Civil Law is one of important preludes of court movement and analysis. Mistake in description can change the court movement and lead it to a direction that harms the accused and society. We don't face with such description and relationship just in the sphere of offences against property, but in the other important subject like vicarious liability, causality relation, probative evidence and etc., legal description has a fundamental role in the criminal affair, too. Identification of domain and boundaries of civil rules impact on the criminal issues, because of lack in researches, has many ambiguous points. Although courts inevitably observe these descriptions in practice; but they don’t deduce them according the specific rules and bases and one of the results is the contradiction in decisions.
