If a tort is committed aright of action arises in favour of the injured person.It comes to an end by one of the following methods.Thus the extinction of liability is known as "Discharge of Torts".
1. Death of one of the Parties
2. By Judgement recovered
3. By Limitation
4. By Waiver
5. By Release
6. By Accord and Satisfaction.
1. Death of one of the Parties :
Death of one of the Parties ,it means Previously death extinguished all the liabilities of the person.But after the Law Reforms Act 1934,it was decided that death extinguished only the liability for personal torts like defamation,assault etc..All the other causes of action survive to the legal representatives of the deceased.
2. By Judgement recovered :
If an action is brought before the court seeking redress for the tort committed and the judgement is given,the liability for that particular tort comes to an end.If the plantiff fails,he cannot go in for another legal proceedings.
3. By Limitation :
According to law,for every enforcement of person's right a certain period is fixed.This is done on the basis that law will not help dormant persons.Moreover,a person will not be able to establish a defence due to death of witnwss or loss of evidence,after certain time.
4. By Waiver :
By Waiver of Torts,for the same wrong,if there are more than one remedy and the plantiff selects one remedy and leaves the others,he is said to have waived the other remedies.He cannot pursue the remedies,which he had given up.Waiver may be either express or implied.Waiving of torts means that only the right to recover damages for the torts is waived and not the whole of tort is waived.
5. By Accord and Satisfaction :
If the plantiff and the defendant agree to settle the liability by valuable consideration,the tort is discharged.This agreement is called "accord" and the consideration is called "satisfaction".When the satisfaction is performed the right of action comes to an end.
6. By Release :
By release, the injured party releases the wrongdoer by a document,then the liability is discharged.In accord and satisfaction there is valuable consideration,but in this method there is no consideration.
7. Acquiescence :
When a person who is entitled to enforce a right neglects to do so for a very long time,it is impliedly inferred that he has waived or abandoned his right.His right of action is taken away by such undue delay.
The modes of tort are intentional torts (where harm is intended), negligence (carelessness causing harm), and strict liability (liability without fault). Discharge of tort occurs when the claim is settled by the parties, conducted in court, or when it is otherwise legally resolved, ending the plaintiff's right to pursue the claim.
Yes, a tort is a civil wrong that causes harm or loss to another person. It is a breach of a duty imposed by law, which leads to legal liability for the person who commits the tort.
An intentional tort is a wrongful act committed on purpose, with the intent to cause harm or offense, such as assault or defamation. Negligent tort, on the other hand, occurs when someone fails to exercise reasonable care, leading to harm being caused unintentionally, like in a car accident due to careless driving.
Negligence is a tort where intent to harm is not required. It is based on the failure to exercise a reasonable standard of care that leads to harm or injury to others.
No, not all injuries or losses result from a tort. A tort requires that someone else's intentional or negligent actions caused the harm. If the harm was caused by natural events or by the injured person's own actions, it may not be considered a tort.
Yes, a tort can also be a crime. For example, if someone commits assault (a tort) against another person, it can also be charged as a criminal offense by the state. This means that the person may face both civil liability for the tort and criminal prosecution for the crime.
