personal tort

Read a random definition: representee

A quick definition of personal tort:

A personal tort is when someone does something wrong that hurts another person, like hurting their body, reputation, or feelings. It's different from breaking a contract. If someone commits a personal tort, the injured person can sue them for money to make up for the harm they caused. There are different types of personal torts, like intentional torts (when someone meant to hurt someone else) and negligent torts (when someone didn't mean to hurt someone else, but they were careless).

A more thorough explanation:

A personal tort is a civil wrong, other than breach of contract, for which a remedy may be obtained, usually in the form of damages. It involves a breach of duty that the law imposes on persons who stand in a particular relation to one another. This can include injury to one's person, reputation, or feelings, as distinguished from an injury or damage to real or personal property.

Examples of personal torts include:

These examples illustrate the definition of personal tort because they all involve harm to a person's physical or emotional well-being, rather than damage to property or a breach of contract. In each case, the injured party may seek damages in a civil lawsuit against the person who committed the tort.

@JupitersMoons: I would talk to your boss about that cus that sounds very illegal
I'm totally sure it's illegal lol. Like looked into workplace discrimination law and yeah. I think his defense would be "It's to see how many people leave the office" (women's bathroom doors are right next to the elevator, but the camera is literally right in front of the bathroom door
)
