How are contract laws and torts related?

Answer: Criminal law provides a way of punishing people who commit crimes. It acts to protect all citizens from such wrongdoing. Criminal law is not concerned with the individual victim. The law of torts, on the other hand, provides a way to compensate victims of wrongful acts.

Explanation: The rights and obligations are created by the acts of agreement between the parties to the contractual arrangement. In tort, the rights and obligations are created by the courts applying common law.
