A quick definition of private action:

Private action refers to a legal proceeding initiated by an individual or entity to enforce or protect their rights, seek redress for a wrong, or punish a public offense. It can be a civil or criminal judicial proceeding, and if conducted to a determination, will result in a judgment or decree. Private action can also be referred to as an action at law, and it includes various types of actions such as actions in personam, actions in rem, and actions for money had and received.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A legal proceeding initiated by a private individual or entity to enforce or protect their rights, seek redress for a wrong, or punish a public offense. It can be a civil or criminal action.

Examples:

  • A person sues their neighbor for damages caused by their negligence in maintaining their property.
  • A company files a lawsuit against a former employee for breaching their non-compete agreement.
  • A victim of a crime brings a criminal case against the perpetrator.

These examples illustrate private actions because they are initiated by private individuals or entities seeking legal remedies for a wrong committed against them. They are not initiated by the government or law enforcement agencies.
