Trespass, e.g. (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tort

(Other definitions for tort that I've seen before include "Civil wrong or injury" , "Wrongful act (in law)" , "Small tropical fish" , "Private wrong for which damages may be claimed" , "Trot to get legal wrong" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
