The civil law system in Pakistan is based on a combination of Islamic law (Sharia), English common law, and statutory law. The legal system is predominantly governed by statutes and codified laws, with Islamic principles influencing certain areas of law, particularly personal and family matters. The Constitution of Pakistan is the Supreme Law of the Country and establishes the framework for its legal system. It outlines the Fundamental Rights of Citizens, the structure of government, and the distribution of powers among different branches of the state.
Pakistan has a legislative system where laws are enacted by the Parliament at the Federal level and by Provincial Assemblies in each of the four provinces. Legislation is drafted, debated, & passed by the respective legislative bodies. Statutory laws cover various areas, including civil procedure, contracts, property, family matters, and more. The Civil Procedure Code (CPC) governs the procedure for civil litigation, including rules for filing and responding to lawsuits, evidence, hearings, and appeals. It sets out the process for resolving civil disputes in courts.

Tort Claims
Tort claims are legal actions brought by individuals or entities seeking compensation
for harm or damages caused by the wrongful conduct of another party. In TORT LAW, a “tort” refers to a civil wrong committed by one party against another, leading to injury or harm. Tort
claims are an essential part of Civil Law, and they cover a wide range of situations where one
party’s actions or omissions have resulted in harm to another.
Here are some common types of tort claims:
1. Negligence: Negligence is the most common type of tort claim. It occurs when someone fails to exercise the standard of care that a reasonably prudent person would have exercised in a similar situation, resulting in harm to another party. For example, a driver who causes an accident due to reckless driving may be liable for negligence.
2. Intentional Torts: These are torts where the wrongdoer intentionally commits a harmful act against another person or their property. Examples include assault, battery, false imprisonment, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
3. Strict Liability: Some activities or situations impose strict liability on the responsible party, regardless of fault. For example, in product liability cases, manufacturers may be held strictly liable for defective products that cause harm to consumers.
4. Defamation: Defamation is a tort claim arising from false statements that harm a person’s reputation. It includes libel (written defamation) and slander (spoken defamation).
5. Trespass: Trespass occurs when someone enters or uses another person’s property without permission, leading to harm or damage.
6. Nuisance: Nuisance claims arise when one party’s activities interfere with the use and enjoyment of another person’s property.
7. Conversion: Conversion is a tort claim involving the wrongful taking or use of another person’s property, denying them the right to possess or use it.
8. Fraud: Fraudulent misrepresentation or deceit can lead to a tort claim when one party intentionally deceives another, causing financial harm.
Tort claims are typically resolved through Civil Litigation, where the injured party (plaintiff) seeks compensation from the alleged wrongdoer (defendant). The plaintiff must prove that the defendant’s actions were the direct cause of their harm and that the defendant owed a duty of care to the plaintiff. If successful, the plaintiff may be awarded damages to compensate for their losses and suffering. If you have suffered harm or damages due to someone else’s negligence or wrongful actions, we can assist you in pursuing compensation through Tort claims.
