tort
Significado: A wrongful act, other than a breach of contract, that results in harm to another person and gives rise to a civil claim for compensation.
Tort law is a major area of English civil law, covering wrongs such as negligence, defamation, trespass, and nuisance. Unlike criminal law, which punishes offenders, tort law aims to compensate victims. The person who commits a tort is called a 'tortfeasor.' Common torts include negligence (failing to exercise reasonable care), defamation (damage to reputation), and nuisance (interference with the use of land). Common collocations include 'law of tort,' 'tortious liability,' and 'tort claim.'
