	Tort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tort law is distinguished from the law of contract, the law of restitution, the law of equity and the criminal law.
		The law of torts therefore aims to restore the injured person to the position he or she was in before the tort was committed (the expectation or rightful position principle).
		Some torts are strict liability torts, in that the plaintiff may recover by showing only that the wrong took place, and that the defendant committed the wrong — there is no need to show the defendant's state of mind or that the defendant breached a duty of due care.

	Theories of Tort Law
		In the case of torts, the plaintiff is the victim of an alleged wrong and the unsuccessful defendant is either directed by the court to pay damages to the plaintiff (the usual remedy) or else to desist from the wrongful activity (so-called "injunctive relief").
		Economic analysis draws no distinction between the case in which the costs and benefits are mine alone and the case in which the benefits are mine to enjoy and the costs yours to endure.
		Tort law imposes a duty of repair, and while it is true that a person who is under a duty to act is constrained in the set of actions open to him, duties are neither punishments nor sanctions.

	Economic torts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Economic Torts are torts for which employers can sue trade union officials or members who are taking part in industrial action.
		The main such torts are those of conspiracy, inducement of breach of contract, and watching and besetting.
		These torts represents the common law's attempt to balance the need to protect claimants against those who inflicts economic harm and the wider need to allow effect, even aggressive, competition(including competition between employees and their workers).

	Torts & Personal Injury Syllabus
		We will begin our discussion of the tort of negligence with a discussion of the first two elements relevant to the negligence tort: the duty of care owed by people to society and when a breach of that duty has occurred.
		Then, we will discuss the Constitutional implications of the tort of defamation, especially as it relates to the balancing act that must be performed by a court when a media outlet defames a person.
		In addition, we will discuss various economic torts; torts that hurt a person financially or hurt a person’s business rather than those that hurt the person physically or damage his or her property.

	Canadian National Railway Co. v. Norsk Pacific Steamship Co. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Recovery of economic loss in this case does not open the floodgates to unlimited liability; the category is a limited one and allows potential tortfeasors to gauge in advance the scope of their liability.
		However, because in Ritchie J.'s view the failure to warn was an independent tort, he considered that the plaintiffs should recover for the economic loss resulting from the inactivity of the barge for the period after the respondent became seized with the defects.
		The Restatement rule unconditionally excludes recovery for pure economic loss that results from negligent interference with a third person's performance of his or her contract with the plaintiff, with the plaintiff's performance of his or her own contract or with the plaintiff's acquisition of prospective contractual relations.

	Carty, Hazel - Analysis of the Economic Torts Books at Real Groovy New Zealand
		These torts represent the common law's attempt to balance the need to protect claimants against those who inflict economic harm and the wider need to allow effective, even aggressive, competition (including competition between employers and their workers).
		Given their controversial setting it is hardly surprising to discover that this area of tort law is confused and confusing, with the limits of liability imprecise.
		What is revealed is an approach to the economic torts that breaks with the traditional analysis to underline the interconnections and differences between these torts that have been overlooked in the past.

		Tort relies on a special form of protection and has to be practical.
		If there are concerns about the effect of such torts on liberty we may want to make special efforts to define carefully what behaviour is restricted.

		Although the Douglas case was concerned with the economic torts of unlawful interference and conspiracy by unlawful means, the judgment attempted a holistic analysis of the intent required for commission of all the economic torts.
		Mainstream shows that the courts are prepared to apply that analysis to the other economic torts and explains the compelling policy reasons behind the law: preservation of privity of contract, competitiveness and freedom of action.
		The court analysed the intention required for all the economic torts and, for the first time, analysed in depth the intention required for interference with contractual relations.
