The answer is True: A tort is a civil action, as opposed to criminal.

Explanation:

  • A tort is a legal term that refers to a civil wrong or infringement of a right (other than under contract) leading to legal liability. It is a part of civil law, which deals with disputes between individuals or organizations.
  • In contrast, criminal law deals with actions that are offenses against the state or public, and are punishable by fines, imprisonment, or other penalties.
  • Examples of torts include negligence, defamation, and trespass. These are addressed in civil court where the injured party seeks compensation or other remedies from the person who committed the tort.
  • Therefore, the statement that a tort is a civil action, as opposed to criminal, is correct.
