Law of Torts - Notes, Case Laws And Study Material

Law of Torts deals with civil wrong. This is basically a breach of a duty imposed by law, which gives rise to a civil right of action for a remedy not exclusive to any other area of law. The Law of torts came to India through England. In 1065 England was conquered by Normans, who were the French-speaking people of Normandy, a region of France.

After the Norman Conquest, French become the spoken language in the courts in England, and thus many technical terms in English Law owe their origin to French, and tort is one of them. The word tort is based on the idea that everyone in society has certain rights. The tort law's purpose is to enforce the rights and duties.
