Business-Related Laws

Law can be classified as either public or private. Private law concerns itself with relationship between individuals, between an individual and a business or between two businesses. Public law concerns itself with the relationship between the government and individual citizens.

Torts

A tort is a non-criminal act (other than breach of contract) that results in injury to person or property. The victim of a tort is legally entitled to some form of compensation. Tort law covers intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability.

An intentional tort is a wilful act that results in injury. Intent does not mean the intent to cause harm; it is the intent to commit a specific physical act. The most common intentional torts include assault, battery, and defamation (if in writing or on television, it is libel; if spoken, it is slander). Negligence is a failure to observe a reasonable standard of care in order to protect others from unreasonable risk or injury. The tort of strict liability focuses on liability in cases even when the defendant has used reasonable care and has committed no wrong-doing. If a defendant engages in an inherently dangerous activity, such as blasting for construction purposes, etc., there is a high risk of harm no matter how much care is used, and the defendant is strictly liable. In strict liability, then, there is liability without fault.
