- Delict and crime
- In modern law a distinction is drawn between delict (or tort) and crime, or between the delictual (or tortious) and criminalaspects of an act.
- The subject called �obligations' is mostly about contract and delict. There are some other heads to be considered, but the right impression is given if we say that contract and delict between them occupy about ninety per cent of the ground.

- In the chapters that follow, first the law of contract, then unjustified enrichment, and finally the law of delict will be dealt with.
- 1. Causation in the Roman law of delict
- ‘Quasi-contract’ is an unsatisfactory term applied to certain specific obligations which did not arise from contract or delict but were legally enforceable.
