Tort law is introduced and distinguished from crime and contract. Business people may engage in conduct which may amount to civil wrongs for which they may be liable to compensate the victim who has suffered loss. Categories of tort law include negligence, trespass to person and property, detinue, deceit, passing off, nuisance, defamation, negligent and fraudulent misrepresentation and so on. The law of negligence is the focus in this subject.
