A tort means someone violated someone else's rights, without having a contract between them covering what happened. For example, if I drive my car into your house and wreck it, I violated your property rights to your house, and you might sue me to recover your loss.
A business that cheats someone, or causes environmental damage to someone's property, or injures someone would probably be sued under tort law by the someone in question.
