Civil Law (Tort) concerns which of the following?

• A. Wrong Against An Individual And Lawsuit
• B. Criminal Offenses
• C. Administrative Regulations
• D. Intellectual Property Disputes

Answer: (A)

Civil Law (Tort) deals with civil wrongs against a person or their property that lead to a lawsuit for damages rather than punishment. When someone commits a tort, the harmed party can sue to obtain compensation or another remedy. This is different from criminal offenses, which are crimes against society and prosecuted by the state with penalties like fines or jail. Administrative regulations are rules set by government agencies governing how things operate, not the typical civil disputes tort law covers. Intellectual property disputes focus on ownership and rights to creations like inventions or brands, rather than the broad category of civil wrongs that injure a person or their property. The description of a wrong against an individual that results in a lawsuit best captures what tort law is about.
