Discussion
Ingredients of tort include which of the following:-
1. There must be a wrong act committed by a person.
2. The wrongful act must be of such a nature as to give rise to a legal remedy.
3. Such legal remedy must be in the form of an action for unliquidated damages.
Answer: C
All three statements are ingredients of a tort, so the answer is 1, 2 and 3. A tort requires a wrongful act or omission by a person, that act must be of a kind that gives rise to a legal remedy, and the remedy must be an action for unliquidated damages, meaning damages the court has to assess rather than a sum fixed in advance.
The options limiting the answer to Only 1, Only 2 or Only 2 and 3 each leave out an ingredient that the standard definition of tort insists on. The unliquidated damages requirement is what distinguishes a tort from a breach of contract with a stipulated sum.
