Torts and contracts are usually between individuals, and not the individual and state with reference to crime. Parties to a contract and torts are liable in case of a breach and the government is only liable when it comes to the laws that have been set up to govern torts and contracts.
i don't know ! haha
A tort is a civil wrong for which the plaintiff seeks to hold the defendant legally liable. Copyright infringement and defamation are examples of torts.
Yes. The rule says that the principal is liable for the torts committed by the agent; subcontractor in this case.
An employer can be vicariously liable for the torts committed by an employee while they are in the scope of their employment in certain situations. An employer will not normally be held vicariously liable for the torts of an independent contractor because of a lack of supervisory control.

No, there can't be torts that are not negligent or intentional because then they are not torts. They are called accidents.
Maybe you mean "intent" rather than "motive." Some torts require an intentional act such as assault or battery. The tort of negligence can be committed without intent, but it is based on being careless.
