Therefore, tort law can be invoked when someone does something ‘twisted’ to you, in other words, tort is an act or omission which causes harm to someone. In such cases, the aggrieved party can seek remedies from the court of law for such wrongful act. The person who commits a tort is called the tortfeaser.
