Business Torts and
How They Impact Business Owners

Description

A tort is a negligent or intentional civil wrong not arising from breach of a contract or statute. Unlike the contract obligations we voluntarily assume in our daily business affairs, we take on liability for misconduct whether willingly or not. Unlike statutory misconduct which is bad because it is against the law (malum prohibitum), torts are bad because by tradition we all agree they are wrong in themselves (malum in se). When behavior falls short of what society requires, and results in injury or harm, the law recognizes the basis for a tort claim by the injured party. While some torts are also crimes punishable by fine or imprisonment, the primary aim of tort law is to provide relief for the damage incurred. This course will discuss several common business torts along with the liability associated with negligent or intentional misconduct.
