Various Tort Disputes
Tort is a word derived from the Latin word tortum and is loosely meaning wrong or wrongful. In law, tort falls into the area of civil law other than breach of contract or breach of fiduciary duty, involving rights of action (the right to sue) for a remedy such as compensation for harm caused by the tort. The first known use of the word tort within a legal proceeding was in the case of Boulston v. Hardy, (1597), 77 E.R. 216.

Tort law plays an essential role in maintaining social order by providing a mechanism through which individuals can seek recourse for harm caused by others. In doing so, tort law encourages accountability and discourages negligent or harmful behavior in both personal and occupational settings. Beyond financial redress, tort law expresses and enforces shared societal principles. Tort law promotes confidence in legal remedies and reinforces the importance of acting with integrity and respect within interpersonal and institutional relationships.
