The source of common law in contracts and torts is primarily judicial decisions and precedents developed by courts over time. These decisions help establish rules and principles that guide future cases in similar situations, creating a body of law based on custom and judicial interpretation rather than legislation.

Torts are civil wrongs that cause harm or loss to another person, such as negligence or defamation. Contracts are legally binding agreements between parties that outline their rights and obligations, such as buying a house or hiring services.
Tort law is a subset of civil law that specifically deals with civil wrongs that result in harm, injury, or loss to another person. Civil law, on the other hand, covers a broader range of legal issues beyond just torts, such as contracts, property, and family law. So while all tort law is considered civil law, not all civil law pertains to torts.
