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.

The function of tort law extends beyond individual claims; tort law promotes a culture of responsibility by requiring people and organizations to consider the impact of their actions. This helps reduce harmful behavior across society and promotes careful conduct in both personal and work environments.  Tort law does more than address losses—it affirms the social community commitment to equitable treatment and conscientious behavior. In doing so, it helps sustain a legal and social framework where safety, dignity, and respect are preserved.

As above, even a highly experienced and knowledgeable Court of Appeal judge can be unfamiliar with all aspects of tort law; and accordingly, with dozens of legally recognized torts applicable to various forms of wrongdoing, it is necessary to carefully review the relevant law applicable to tort matters.
