Highlight
Whether the civil dispute doctrine applies in a criminal case is a question of law.
A joint account holder may be charged with theft and exploitation of a vulnerable adult for misuse of joint account funds.
The civil dispute doctrine bars criminal prosecution if the case presents a legitimate dispute on a unique issue of property, contract, or other civil law, and the issues in the case would be more appropriately settled in a civil forum.
For the civil dispute doctrine to apply, resolution of the legitimate dispute on a unique issue of civil law must impact the public in general, rather than only the defendant and the alleged victim in the criminal case.
