Delictum

    0.02 sec.

[Latin, A fault.] An injury, an offense, or a tort—a wrong done to the property or person of another that does not involve breach of contract. Culpability; blameworthiness of a criminal nature, as in the Latin phrase in pari delicto—in equal fault or equally criminal—used to describe accomplices to a crime.

An actio ex delicto is a lawsuit based upon the commission of a tort, as opposed to an actio ex contractu, an action for breach of contract.

Vives continues: after the fall, mere exposition is not enough (tenebris animo inductis per delictum, sola explicato non sufficit), and this is where rhetoric comes in.
Quare nec maleficium seu delictum ab ipso potestate repertum et investigatum est, sed ab offitio octo custodie, et capturea sive detentio persone delinquentis non fuit a potestate facta neque in carceribus positus fult sed a nobis et ab octo custodie.
