What is tort law?

​

Tort law is the area of law that relates to civil wrongs, and it sets out when certain actions bring rise to the opportunity to pursue a legal claim. 

​

The most common torts arise as a result of negligent behaviour, which leads to the damage of property or harm to a person.

​

Examples of actions that can lead to a cause for legal action are:

• being harmed in someone else's property,

• an employee being harmed in his work environment,

• being harmed in a traffic accident,

• defamation,

• assault,

• fraud,

• private and public nuisance,

• unlawful detention, and

• trespass to property.
