@thunder54 nothing in me inbox - yet to come I think, but I'm a rogue poster too you know - but I doffs my hat.
Dolce, I'm no expert on the law - but as I understand it a tort is a civil wrong - can be the basis of a class action. Again no point looking to US where they are crazy nutters, we have a settled law here even if not well used.
Just checked Wiki in case I make a fool of myself - again !!!
A tort, in common law jurisdictions, is a civil wrong[1] that unfairly causes someone else to suffer loss or harm resulting in legal liability for the person who commits the tortious act, called a tortfeasor. Although crimes may be torts, the cause of legal action is not necessarily a crime, as the harm may be due to negligence which does not amount to criminal negligence. The victim of the harm can recover their loss as damages in a lawsuit. In order to prevail, the plaintiff in the lawsuit, commonly referred to as the injured party, must show that the actions or lack of action was the legally recognizable cause of the harm. The equivalent of tort in civil law jurisdictions is delict.
