In California business law, a tort is a civil wrong that harms a person or business. Fraud involves false statements or concealment of material facts, conversion is the wrongful taking or use of another’s property, and tortious interference occurs when a third party disrupts a contract or business relationship. Understanding these concepts helps you decide the best path forward.
Proving a business tort requires showing misrepresentation or unlawful interference, causation, and actual damages. The typical path includes filing a complaint, gathering evidence, exploring settlements, and, if needed, pursuing a trial to obtain relief such as damages or injunctive remedies.
