A tort under Dutch law (usually referred to in the English system) is a civil wrong between private individuals. In different legal systems it may be known as a delict (for example, in Scotland). Torts concern non-contractual obligations as there will be no contractual relationship between the parties involved and can result in legal liability. As soon as a tort under Dutch law or delict is established, a legal obligation arises between the parties. In England, common law determines the rights between individuals – unlike the civil jurisdiction of the Netherlands. Our Dutch liability attorneys are happy to help you.
