This glossary clarifies common terms used to describe procedures, rights, and remedies in California law, helping you follow conversations and decisions more easily.
A contract is a voluntary agreement between parties that creates legally enforceable duties. It outlines promises, conditions, remedies for breach, and steps for performance. In California, contracts can be written, oral in some circumstances, and may be interpreted by courts based on intent, established terms, and applicable statutes.
A tort is a civil wrong that causes harm or loss to another person, for which the law provides a remedy. It includes negligence, intentional harm, and strict liability claims. In California, tort law seeks to restore the injured party to the position they would have been in, typically through compensation and, in some cases, injunctions.
A judgment is a formal decision issued by a court resolving a dispute and determining the rights and obligations of the parties involved. It may specify damages, orders, or other relief and can be subject to appeal or enforcement procedures under California law.
A statute is a written law enacted by a legislative body that governs conduct and establishes rights and duties. In California, statutes provide the framework for rules in civil matters, recognize remedies, and guide how courts interpret contracts, torts, and other legal relationships.
