Business tort claims address wrongful acts causing economic harm outside a contract, including fraud, conversion of property, and interference with business relations.
The path to resolution typically starts with careful fact gathering, assessing remedies, and deciding whether to pursue negotiation, mediation, or litigation.
In California, a business tort claim seeks damages for wrongful acts that harm a business outside the bounds of a contract, such as deceit, improper taking, or interference with expected economic relations.
Elements vary by claim but typically involve proof of duty, breach, causation, and damages for torts like fraud or interference, or the right to recover property in conversion, followed by discovery, motions, and possible trial.
Glossary of terms used in these claims and the steps involved in pursuing relief.
Fraud is a knowingly false representation or concealment of a material fact that leads another party to act to its detriment.
Conversion refers to the unauthorized control or possession of someone else’s property or rights.
Interference occurs when a third party intentionally disrupts a contractual relationship or an ongoing business relationship, causing losses.
Damages are the monetary compensation intended to cover the losses a plaintiff suffers due to the tort.
Depending on the facts, options may include negotiated settlements, mediation, arbitration, or pursuing traditional litigation to obtain remedies.
For smaller claims or clear-cut facts, negotiation or mediation can provide a timely, cost‑effective outcome.
