As an aside, to stop anyone getting the wrong idea memorized, \'torts\' are a class of \'wrongs\' committed and there\'s about a hundred of them and a lot of them have nothing to do with physical damage.
Most times when there is legal action taken by individuals it relates to specific torts, as opposed to \'crimes\' which are actioned on by police in nz.
Potentially in the example of a car being towed incorrectly, they\'d be liable under the tort of negligence as the duty of care owed by a tow driver would be deemed to be higher than that of an average joe as they are towing \'professionals\'
