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.

By imposing liability for harmful acts, tort law supports the social objective of accountability as it gives injured parties a means of seeking justice and acts as a deterrent against careless or wrongful conduct in both public and private spheres.  Beyond providing monetary relief, tort law affirms community values by promoting fairness and caution in social conduct. Tort law supports the public trust of legal institutions and encourages a civil environment rooted in responsibility, decency, and shared respect for others.

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.
