It is very important to understand the meaning of tortuous liability or rather the nature of tort law in order to understand its purpose.
The expression tort is of french origin. It is derived from Latin word ‘tortum’, which means twisted or crooked act that is deviation from straight or right conduct. It is equivalent to English word wrong. Liability arises when a person commits a tort; thereby another person suffers damage or injury.
So a tort came, in law to define particular class of wrongs for which an action in tort was recognized by the courts of common law as remedy and to lose the generic sense of wrong which it may have helped in accepted use.
