    Solution

    A tort refers to a civil wrong that causes harm or injury to another person or their property. It is a breach of a legal duty owed to someone else, leading to legal liability and potential compensation for the harmed party. Unlike criminal offenses, which involve violations of criminal law, torts are addressed through civil litigation in courts. In other words, a tort is a legal term referring to a civil wrongdoing that occurs when someone fails to fulfill their duty to another person, resulting in harm or injury.
