the basis of a lawsuit founded on legal grounds and alleged facts which, if proved,
would constitute all the "elements" required by statute. Examples to have a cause
of action for breach of contract there must have been an offer of acceptance; for
a tort (civil wrong) there must have been negligence or intentional wrongdoing and
failure to perform; for libel there must have been an untruth published which is
particularly harmful; and in all cases there must be a connection between the acts
of the defendant and damages. In many lawsuits there are several causes of action
stated separately, such as fraud, breach of contract, and debt, or negligence and
intentional destruction of property.
