What is a 'tort law bypass'?

A 'tort law bypass' refers to a situation where individuals who are not parties to a contract may seek to recover damages through claims of negligence or other tortious acts. This framework allows someone to circumvent the restrictions that typically apply to parties in a contractual relationship when they suffer harm due to the wrongful acts of another party. In the context of hospitality or other industries, this could happen when a guest or third party is harmed due to negligence related to service, even though they are not a direct party to the contractual agreement in place.

The significance of this concept lies in its ability to provide avenues for recovery in circumstances where traditional contract law might limit available remedies, enhancing protections for individuals affected by the negligent acts of businesses.
