What are the Defenses or Justifications to an action in tort?

Defenses or justifications in tort law include concepts such as consent, where the plaintiff agreed to the action that caused harm; self-defense, which allows individuals to protect themselves from imminent harm; and necessity, which permits actions taken to prevent greater harm. Additionally, the defense of comparative negligence can reduce liability if the plaintiff's own actions contributed to the injury. Other defenses may include statutory immunity, where certain individuals or entities are protected from tort claims under specific laws.
