A tort is a wrongful act or omission, for which compensation or other remedy can be awarded to C (the claimant, or the person aggrieved) against D (the defendant, or tortfeasor). The corpus of Tort law, in general, excludes wrongs which are remediable as a breach of contract (albeit that some claims may give rise to concurrent liability in contract and in tort), a crime (albeit that occasionally a tort may also be a crime), an equitable cause of action, or a restitutionary cause of action.
