Between whom can the judiciary settle disputes?

Correct answer: Between citizens, governments and institutions

Direct answer: A, between citizens, governments and institutions. Courts settle many kinds of disputes by hearing the parties, examining relevant facts and applying the law. Depending on the case and jurisdiction, a dispute may involve two citizens, a citizen and a government authority, different institutions or different levels of government. Option A is correct because the judiciary is available to resolve lawful disputes among a wide range of parties, not just one occupation or type of organisation. Option B is wrong because players are only one possible group and sports disputes are not the whole judicial role. Option C is wrong because shops are not the only parties that can come before a court. Option D is wrong because weather departments are not an exclusive category of litigants. The exact court and procedure depend on jurisdiction and the nature of the dispute. Memory cue: courts resolve conflicts by applying law, not by choosing sides based on status.
