Various Tort Disputes

Most people will have a vague understanding of various tort law issues despite lacking knowledge of the actual definition of tort law. The word tort, while funny sounding, is actually a word derived from the Latin word tortum which, loosely translated, means wrongdoing. In the realm of law, tort is a civil law matter other than breach of contract, or breach of fiduciary duty, and involves the right to sue for compensation, among other things. It is generally believed that the first use of the word tort within a legal proceeding was within the case of Boulston v. Hardy, (1597), 77 E.R. 216, during the time when Galileo was still alive.

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.  In addition to offering remedies, tort law plays a key role in upholding the moral standards of society. It enhances public confidence in the justice system and promotes social cohesion by fostering a culture of care, ethical behavior, and mutual consideration.

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.
