Editing Tort (section)

===Israel===
Israeli tort law is codified in the Tort Ordinance, originally passed under British rule, and is largely based on common law principles with influences from civil law jurisdictions. The Jewish law of [[Damages (Jewish law)|rabbinic damages]] in Israel is another example of tort, although the Tort Ordinance is far more relevant in secular life, having been enacted by [[Mandate for Palestine|British Mandate of Palestine]] authorities in 1944 and taking effect in 1947. The Tort Ordinance additionally provides that any civil court may grant either or both compensation or an injunction as a remedy for a tort and codifies common law rules regarding liability and defences to tort claims. Chapter Three of the ordinance provides a list of torts recognised under Israeli law, including:<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://goslaw.co.il/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/tort-ordinance.pdf|title=Israeli Tort Ordinance}}</ref>
