Summary
The interfaces between tort and crime can have a profound impact on legal reasoning and outcomes. Courts have had to settle cases that straddle both tort and crime since fact patterns have not heeded our pedagogic borders or conceptual pigeon-holes. Even if a system has not developed normative solutions to such boundary issues, litigants have raised them and procedures have had to be developed to deal with them.
