'''Torts''' are a diverse collection of civil wrongs which are actionable outside of either contract or statute law.  Torts include [[negligence]], private nuisance, public nuisance, breach of statutory duty, [[defamation]], trespass to the person, trespass to land, passing off, malicious falsehood, deceit, conversion and various so-called economic torts.

A '''tort''' is a civil wrong for which the law provides a remedy.  The law of torts is generally separated into negligence and intentional torts.  Under the common law "duty/breach" analysis, negligence is an act or omission that breaches a duty and causes harm.  Generally, people have the duty to act as "reasonably prudent persons" and if a person does not act as a reasonably prudent person and an injury results, the person may be liable in tort.
