What is a tort?

Bad evidence in a criminal proceeding

Non-contractual civil wrong

A tort is indeed a non-contractual civil wrong. This refers to a type of civil law that includes cases which deal with actions that wrongfully cause harm to others but are not necessarily illegal or tied to any existing contract. For instance, a person may sue another for a tort if they believe that individual's negligence led to their personal injury. This could include cases of defamation, trespassing, assault, or negligence among others. The purpose of tort law is to restore the victim to the position they would be in if the tort had not occurred, typically through financial compensation. The party that commits the tort is called the ‘tortfeasor’. This body of law exists largely independently of criminal law, and as such, it involves a separate set of procedures and outcomes.
