QLD Theft by employee / Civil Suit

[nobody66]

Ex employee has stolen a substantial amount of property. The police are involved and taking a long time to investigate. He was the manager of our company.
It's a good chance he'll be done for freud but not necessarily theft.
Can we sue him? Do I have to wait until a conviction to start the process?
How do these things normally work?

You start by speaking to a lawyer who can give you fully considered, case specific advice.
You won't find what you need here.

 

[Rod]

Yes.
No.
Depends.

Having said that, the specific circumstances of your situation may change the answers. As Tim says - see a lawyer.
