tort-feasor
tort-feasor is a precise legal noun for the person or organization alleged to have committed a civil wrong, or tort, that causes harm or loss. It often points to the party a tort claim is brought against, such as a defendant in a civil case. But the word carries useful limits: it is about civil liability, not criminal guilt, and it can apply to individuals, companies, or even multiple “joint tort-feasors.” The lesson also touches on the alternative spelling “tortfeasor” and the related adjective “tortious.” Watch the full lesson to learn how this term works in legal English.
