Torts
A tort in law is defined as any wrongful injury caused to a person, his relatives or his property.
By its nature, for a tort to exist,
several prerequisites are necessary:
there must be an injury (damage), which may be both pecuniary (the cost of hospital treatment or the funeral of a close relative) and non-pecuniary, namely, pain and suffering suffered from the loss of a loved one, from personal injury, damage to the reputation of a company among its competitors and among its customers;
there must have been an act - conduct which has led to the damage described above;
legal wrongfulness - the causing of the harm violates the 'do no harm' rule;
a direct causal link between the wrongful act and the damage caused - the harm must be caused by the specific act;
fault - in the majority of hypotheses, of the person causing the harm.
Torts in law can occur in a variety of areas – from suffering a traffic accident with or without causing death, through the tarnishing of the prestige and reputation of a trader, damage from defective consumer goods, to damage caused by unlawful actions of bailiffs, notaries, cancelled flights, etc.
