Tort Liability
Tort (unlawful act) is the legal basis for liability outside a contractual relationship. If someone suffers damage due to another party's unlawful act, they can claim compensation even without a contract existing between the parties.
In business practice, tort plays a major role in unfair competition, misleading commercial practices, intellectual property infringement and damage caused by third parties.
