From this perspective, to make a claim in tort a claimant must show that they have (or had) a right, exercisable against the defendant, that has been infringed. However, the claimant's right is not a right exercisable against the defendant as it is not a property right (which is exercisable against the world).
Intentional torts – An intentional tort is one in which the defendant knew or should have known that their action would cause injury. For example, if someone physically attacks another person, the injured person would have a tort claim against the attacker.
