Tort,
is a wrong that involves a breach of a civil duty owed to someone ...
English tort law concerns civil wrongs, as distinguished from
criminal wrongs, in the
law of
England and Wales. Some wrongs are the concern of the state, and so the
police can enforce the law on the wrongdoers in court – in a criminal case.
A tort is not enforced by the
police, and it is a civil action taken by one
citizen against another, and tried in a court in front of a
judge (only rarely, in certain cases of
defamation, with a
jury). Tort derives from
middle English for "injury", from Anglo-French, from Medieval Latin
tortum, from
Latin, neuter of tortus "twisted", from past participle of
torquēre.

Main article: Breach of duty in English law
Once a duty of care has been established, it must be shown that a duty has been breached. The question the courts ask is whether the behaviour exhibited by the defendant fell below the threshold of a "reasonable man" (the objective test).[5] In some cases where the defendant was in a special profession, e.g. being a doctor, the court will ask what standard of care a "reasonable doctor" or the like might have done.[6] Allowance is usually made for the defendants age and a lower standard of a "reasonable child of a certain age" is applied to children.[7] On the other hand, no allowance is made for other personal circumstances, such as the fact that the defendant was inexperienced in the task he set out to perform. He is expected to perform this task as a reasonably skilled and competent person.[8]
