About the Book

The Law of Tort Welcome to my series of pocket books in Irish Law which aimed at beginner-level readers with little or no previous experience of the Law of Tort. Torts are concerned with civil wrongs, whereby one party causes damage to another party. -Tort is the French word for a wrong or Latin for twisted. -Tort is a branch of Civil Law; therefore a tort in law is called a Civil Wrong -Tort law protects a variety of injuries and provides remedies (ways to fix) them. Torts can be distinguished from legal wrongs: A Tort is not a breach of contract, where the obligation which is alleged to have been breached arose under an agreement between two parties. A Tort is not a crime, where the object of proceedings is to punish the offender rather than compensate the victim. Using tort law, an injured party can bring a civil case to seek compensation for a wrong done to the party (plaintiff, or injured party) or the partys property. Tort damages or compensation are monetary damages that are sought from the offending party. They are intended to compensate the injured party for the injury suffered.
