Tort

This area of law belongs to the field of Civil Litigation. Tort law creates responsibilities where there is no contractual connection between the parties. In English law the starting point for tort is always Donoghue v. Stevenson which actually also unified the concept of delict from Scottish law and the concept of Negligence in English law.
