So, how do you tell them apart?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest question to ask is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Where did the duty come from?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the duty comes from law, we generally deal with a tort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the duty comes from an agreement between the parties, we are dealing with a contract.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1. The Basic Difference<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duty is generally <strong>imposed by law<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need to enter into an agreement with someone for the duty to exist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><br>A driver has a legal duty to drive carefully. If A drives negligently and injures B, A may be liable even though A and B never made a contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Breach of Contract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duty arises from an <strong>agreement<\/strong> between the parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example:<\/strong><br>A agrees to deliver a laptop to B on 1 September. If A fails to deliver it as promised, A may have committed a breach of contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Remember:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Tort \u2192 Duty imposed by law<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Contract \u2192 Duty created by agreement<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2. Key Differences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><td><strong>Basis<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Tort<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Breach of Contract<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Source of duty<\/td><td>Law<\/td><td>Agreement<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Contract required?<\/td><td>No<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Relationship between parties<\/td><td>May not exist beforehand<\/td><td>Contractual relationship exists<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nature of wrong<\/td><td>Breach of legal duty<\/td><td>Failure to perform contractual obligation<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Common remedy<\/td><td>Damages\/other civil remedies<\/td><td>Damages\/other contractual remedies<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Example<\/td><td>Negligently injuring someone<\/td><td>Failing to deliver goods as promised<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. A Simple Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose you hire a photographer for your wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The photographer promises to deliver your photographs within 15 days but fails to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What happened?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The promise to deliver the photographs came from the <strong>agreement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 <strong>Breach of contract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now imagine that during the wedding, the photographer carelessly leaves equipment in a place where a guest trips over it and gets injured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duty to take reasonable care towards others can exist <strong>independently of the contract<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2192 <strong>Possible tortious liability<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, depending on the facts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The same situation can potentially involve both contract and tort.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. Does a Tort Require a Contract?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one of the easiest ways to eliminate an incorrect option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A person can be liable in tort even when there is <strong>no contractual relationship<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Example<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A driver negligently hits a pedestrian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The driver and pedestrian have no contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet the driver may be liable because the law imposes a duty to take reasonable care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Does Every Breach of Contract Become a Tort?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>No.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suppose A promises to deliver furniture to B but fails to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The failure to perform the promise is primarily a <strong>contractual issue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It does not automatically become a tort merely because B suffers financial loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The source of the obligation is the <strong>contract<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. Can the Same Act Be Both?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Yes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Imagine a doctor agrees to treat a patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The doctor may have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Contractual obligations<\/strong> arising from the agreement with the patient; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Legal duties<\/strong> to exercise reasonable care.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the doctor fails to perform a contractual promise, it may raise a contractual claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the doctor is negligent and causes harm, it may also raise issues of tortious liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The exact liability will depend on the facts and applicable law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practice Question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Principle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tort generally arises from the breach of a duty imposed by law, whereas a breach of contract arises from failure to perform an obligation created by an agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A caf\u00e9 agrees to deliver a birthday cake to Meera by 5 p.m. on Saturday. Meera makes the full payment in advance. The caf\u00e9 fails to deliver the cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While making another delivery, the caf\u00e9&#8217;s employee drives negligently and injures a pedestrian, Riya.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Question<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which statement is most appropriate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A.<\/strong> Both situations are breaches of contract because the employee works for the caf\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>B.<\/strong> The failure to deliver the cake may amount to breach of contract, while the negligent injury to Riya may give rise to tortious liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>C.<\/strong> Neither situation can create liability because there was no intention to cause harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>D.<\/strong> Both situations are necessarily torts because compensation may be claimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Answer: B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The caf\u00e9&#8217;s obligation to deliver the cake arose from its <strong>agreement with Meera<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The duty to take reasonable care while driving exists <strong>independently of a contractual agreement with Riya<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Therefore, the two situations involve different sources of legal duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>TORT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Law \u2192 Legal Duty \u2192 Breach \u2192 Civil Remedy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>BREACH OF CONTRACT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Agreement \u2192 Contractual Duty \u2192 Failure to Perform \u2192 Contractual Remedy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Golden Rule<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The key difference is not simply the remedy. It is the source of the duty.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Duty imposed by law \u2192 Tort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Duty created by agreement \u2192 Breach of contract<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you learn to identify <strong>where the duty comes from<\/strong>, questions involving tort and contract become much easier to solve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Both a tort and a breach of contract can result in compensation.
