Solution
Answer
The answer is Civil suits.
Explanation
Option 1: Civil suits
Civil suits relate to violations of the law in the context of private disputes between individuals or organizations. These can include contract disputes and torts, where one party seeks compensation or another form of legal remedy from another party.
Option 2: Criminal suits
Criminal suits involve actions that are considered offenses against the state or public, and they are prosecuted by the government. These are not typically related to contract disputes or torts, which are civil matters.
Option 3: Breach of contract
A breach of contract is a specific type of civil dispute where one party fails to fulfill their obligations under a contract. While it is relevant to contract disputes, it does not encompass torts, which are broader civil wrongs.
Option 4: Liquidated Damages
Liquidated damages are a specific type of remedy in contract law where the parties agree in advance on the amount of damages to be paid in case of a breach. This term does not broadly cover all violations of the law in contract disputes and torts.
