Legal Damage as an Essence of Tortious Liability
 
We have earlier indicated that a "tort" is a legal construct and is not to be 
confused with a "wrong" in the general sense. It only exists where the law says 
it exists, i.e., where the law provides a remedy. 
 
Categories of "wrongs, injuries, and sufferings" which human beings inflict on 
one another are extremely many. Very few of these very many "wrongs, injuries 
and sufferings" come within the purview of the Law of Tort to be known as 
"TORTS". The function of students of law and indeed all the lawyers is to 
determine which injuries, wrongs and sufferings have remedies in the Law of 
Tort. 
 
Only the wrongs, injuries and sufferings which come within the protection of the 
Law of Tort will attract "Legal Damage", or Damage recognised by the Law.
 
"A" will have committed no Tort as against "B" if he opens a 
huge supermarket resulting in loss of income to the shop 
owned by "B". In this scenario the act of "A" has given rise to 
no LEGAL DAMAGE recognised by the law. 
 
To constitute a Tort therefore , there must be: 
(a) 
a wrongful act or omission committed by another person; 
(b) 
the wrongful act/ omission must result in legal damage to another; and 
(c)
