sanctions tort

sanctions tort. A means of recovery for another party’s discovery abuse, whereby the judge orders the abusive party to pay a fine to the injured party for the discovery violation. • This is not a tort in the traditional sense, but rather a form of punishment that results in monetary gain for the injured party. [Cases: Federal Civil Procedure 1278; Pretrial Procedure 44. 1.]
