Scenario 2 State law recognizes that every vehicle has a title or legal document that names the owner of the vehicle. The state also recognizes financial agreements between people who have lent or borrowed money. A woman decided to sell her car to her friend. Her friend did not have enough money to pay for the car. The woman made a financial agreement with her friend. She agreed to accept payments until all the money for the car was paid. The woman gave the car title to her friend, with the friend now listed as the owner. Her friend made no payments on the car. The woman wants her money or the car back. Is this a matter of constitutional, criminal, civil, or military law? __________________________________ Is the source of the law a statute, regulation, case law, or combination?

The matter would come under civil law. The source of state law is statute. The purpose of the law would be to protect people rights as the law recognises financial agreements and the details of the financial agreement must be written on a formal document and signed by both people. If the law didnt exist, the person selling the car could be in a very vulnerable situation financially and legally.
