Question: 1 / 430

Tort Law is commonly referred to as

Criminal Offence

Common Law

Tort Law is commonly referred to as Common Law because it originates from judicial decisions and precedents rather than statutes or legislative acts. Common Law is developed over time through the rulings of courts and includes various types of legal wrongs that do not fall under criminal law, such as negligence, defamation, and trespass. This body of law allows for individuals to seek compensation for harm or injury caused by the actions of others. Other terms listed, such as Criminal Offence, refer to laws and penal codes governing behavior that are deemed harmful to society and are prosecuted by the state, rather than through private disputes which characterize Tort Law. Similarly, the notions of "Lawyers Law" and "Petty Law" do not accurately encapsulate the nature or classification of Tort Law within the broader legal system.
