quasi-tort

Read a random definition: Printers Ink Statute

A quick definition of quasi-tort:

A quasi-tort is a type of wrongdoing that someone else is held responsible for, even if they didn't directly commit it. For example, if a servant commits a tort, their master can be held liable. A tort is a civil wrong that causes harm to someone, and the person who committed the tort is called a tortfeasor. Other types of torts include intentional torts, which are committed on purpose, and negligent torts, which are caused by someone's failure to take reasonable care. A toxic tort is a type of civil wrong that arises from exposure to a toxic substance, like asbestos or hazardous waste.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Quasi-tort is a type of tort for which a non-perpetrator can be held responsible. It is a tort for which someone who did not directly commit it can still be found liable. For example, a master can be held liable for a tort committed by a servant.

Example: An employer can be held responsible for the actions of their employees. For instance, if an employee causes an accident while driving a company vehicle, the employer can be held liable for the damages caused by the accident. This is an example of quasi-tort because the employer did not directly commit the tort, but they are still held responsible for it.

This type of tort is also known as vicarious liability, which means that someone is held responsible for the actions of another person.
