    Civil law created and enforced by the goverment is goverment sanctioned. And FYI it is also criminal, you can go to goverment-sanctioned private prison for it.

      Yes. I don’t know what you are arguing. I don’t think you do either.

      Contract violation is a civil issue, not criminal. I think you agree with that.

      You cannot get imprisoned for violating a contract. I think this is what you’re missing.

      However if you are sued for a contract violation, you will receive a civil summons.

      A civil summons is a court order. That is word of law, and wilful disregard or disobedience of a court order is literally contempt of court.

      You can get arrested for that. But that’s not getting arrested for a contract violation, that’s getting arrested for contempt.

      Do you expect contempt to not have teeth? It’s literally the underpinning of all modern courts, that participants in it have respect for the truth and respect for the court. Of course the court and the government has to protect and enforce that respect.
