Tort

There's a huge difference between civil wrongs and criminal acts Thankfully (?) criminal law is not in your syllabus (except for very minor inclusions) So, to get back to your post, no, tort is NOT a crime. It's a civil wrong Very, very basically, a crime is a wrong done to society at large and is typically punished by a term of imprisonment. A civil wrong is a wrong against an individual and is typically amended by a fine Is that enough for you or do you want more?

That is perfect but if something important you want to add so most welcome.

Hi James That's very kind of you to invite any further 'important' comments from me ... but I don't think I that I want to add much more than is already in the free course notes and the videoed lectures But do please feel free to ask about any other matters that you come across that raise questions in your legal mind (or is it raise legal questions in your mind?) Whatever, please do feel free to ask :-)

Yes ofcourse. I always ask my each and every query at Opentuitions. I believe you more than my local tutor.

Thanks for this, James :-) but do make sure that you also make full, extensive use of a revision kit from an approved publisher (and maybe take advantage of the 20% discount on BPP material if ordered through this site - see yellow bar above this post!)
