A business tort involves wrongful conduct that harms a business, such as fraud or interference with contracts. It differs from a pure contract dispute because it focuses on wrongful acts rather than breach of terms alone. Understanding both claims helps determine remedies, including damages, injunctions, or restitution.
In California, fraud claims often have a three year statute of limitations, while contract claims may have four years; other rules apply to conversion and interference. Timing and discovery rules matter; consult a lawyer to assess deadlines.
Damages you can recover include actual damages, profits, restitution, and possibly punitive damages in cases of oppression, malice, or fraud; emotional distress rarely arises in business tort cases. In addition to damages, equitable remedies such as injunctions may be available depending on the circumstances.
