Under Tort Law, remedies could include all the following except:

Compensatory damages
Equitable relief
Incarceration
Punitive damages

The correct answer is: Incarceration

In the context of Tort Law, remedies are designed to address harm caused by one party to another. Compensatory damages aim to restore the injured party to the position they would have been in had the tort not occurred. Equitable relief involves court-ordered actions that require a party to either do something or refrain from doing something, in order to provide a fair outcome. Punitive damages serve as a means to punish the wrongdoer and deter future misconduct, providing an additional financial penalty beyond compensating the victim. Incarceration, however, is not a remedy available under Tort Law. It is rather a criminal law consequence intended for wrongdoers who have committed crimes, as opposed to torts, which are civil wrongs. The primary objectives of Tort Law are compensation and deterrence, rather than punishment in the form of incarceration. This distinction is crucial in understanding the differences between civil and criminal legal frameworks.
