Law of Torts

The Law of Torts deals with situations where one person's actions cause harm or loss to another, outside of contractual obligations. It allows the affected individual to seek compensation through a legal claim. Common torts include negligence (failing to act with reasonable care), defamation (damaging someone's reputation), and trespass (unlawfully entering someone’s property). The aim is to provide justice by holding the responsible party accountable and to deter harmful behavior in society. Essentially, it protects people from wrongful acts that can lead to injury or damage, ensuring accountability and compensation.
