Explanation

Jane is seeking compensation for damage to her property, which is a dispute between individuals or businesses. That kind of dispute is handled in civil court. Criminal court deals with crimes prosecuted by the government, while the Supreme Court and a court of appeals are higher courts that generally review legal decisions rather than hear this type of case first.
