CIVILITER. Civilly; opposed to criminaliter or criminally.
2. When a person does an unlawful act injurious to another, whether
with or without an intention to commit a tort, he is responsible civiliter.
In order to make him liable criminaliter, he must have intended to do the
wrong; for it is a maxim, actus non facit reum nisi mens sit rea. 2 East,
104.
