Le tribunal ou cour est un lieu où est rendue la justice. C'est là que les personnes en conflit viennent chercher la justice et où celles qui n'ont pas respecté la loi sont jugées. Plus précisément, un tribunal n'est pas obligatoirement un service public de l'État.
Personal injuryPersonal injury is a legal term for an injury to the body, mind, or emotions, as opposed to an injury to property. In common law jurisdictions the term is most commonly used to refer to a type of tort lawsuit in which the person bringing the suit (the "claimant" in English Law or "plaintiff" in American jurisdictions) has suffered harm to his or her body or mind. Personal injury lawsuits are filed against the person or entity that caused the harm through negligence, gross negligence, reckless conduct, or intentional misconduct, and in some cases on the basis of strict liability.
