The concept of "legal fact" in the theory of tort law

The purpose of the study. This article examines the scientific problem of the relationship between the concepts of the theory of tort law and the concept of "legal fact". The theory of tort obligations, which was formed in the bosom of Roman law, paid more attention to the elaboration of issues of legal protection of violated rights of the parties, while the concept of "tort" has not yet been finalized. Turning to the origins of the origin of this Latin word, it should be noted another important and forgotten meaning of "mistake", and not just a misdemeanor or offense. This understanding most accurately reflects the essence of tort in civil law. An incorrect action or thought is an error in the interpretation of modern dictionaries. Introduced into scientific circulation by the Dutch lawyer Hugo Grotius, the concept of general tort has transformed into the legislation of the world. It is also contained in art. 1064 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. It should be noted that the general tort itself includes in its content a whole range of legal facts that are both civil law torts and generate torts. The article discusses the issues of understanding a legal fact as a legal situation reflected in law. Conclusions. Thus, the described approach is successful. It is proposed to classify the legal facts arising in sensitive civil law relations, depending on the presence of damage, and also the chain-sequence of generation of legal facts in tort law is derived.
