*What is the concept of Tort and Contract difference? When a person commits a Tort, the court will not look at the Tort but at the harm or injury suffered by the victim as a result of that Tort. The court will typically order the defendant to pay compensation or provide other relief to the injured party. An examples of Torts include occupier's liability, nuisance, economic Torts, negligence, defamation or product liability.A Contract has an offer and an acceptance of that offer and the parties involved must have capacity to contract. A breach of Contract by either party may result in awarding the remedy of Damages. An example of a Contract is an agreement between Company A to provide a security service to Company B in return for a valuable consideration paid by Company B to Company A. What is the difference between a tort and a criminal act?When it comes to the difference between a tort and a criminal act, the two can be especially difficult to distinguish. Here are the basics: ‧Legally speaking, a tort occurs when one's negligence directly causes damage to a person or property. ‧A crime is defined as a wrongdoing against society. *Tort law means Tort law is the area that determines whether or not a person should be held legally responsible for someone' injuries or damaged property. This area of law also governs the types of damages an injured person is able to collect, such as medical expenses or lost wages. Tort disputes are settled in civil court settings with one party seeking compensation from another. There are several types of torts, and each covers a wide array of cases. They include: ‧Negligence. Negligence is the most common type of tort. These take place when a person acts without due care and, as a result, unintentionally injures someone. ‧Strict Liability. In strict cases (for example, animal attacks or defective products) one party is always held liable regardless of circumstances - even if the injury was caused unintentionally. ‧Intentional Torts. Intentional torts occur when an individual intentionally causes harm to another, such as battery or defamation. Confusingly, intentional torts often involve criminal activity and are therefore often confused with criminal wrongdoing. However, if the injured party chooses to sue for compensation, the case then also becomes a tort case.
