R. G. McKerron has written: 'The law of delict'
The exact meaning of delict varies between legal systems but it is always centered on the Roman law idea of wrongful conduct. It's a matter of intent. Crime is not always intentional.
it's where one party commits a wrong against another
delict is less harm than crime.
tort
The word 'crime' is used in the sense of 'offence'. On the other hand, the word delict is an intentional or negligent act, which paves the way for legal obligation between two parties. This is the main difference between the two words.
A delict, or tort, typically comprises four essential elements: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. The defendant must owe a duty of care to the plaintiff, which is then breached through negligent or intentional conduct. This breach must directly cause harm or loss to the plaintiff, resulting in damages that can be quantified. Each element must be established for a successful claim in a delict action.
