What is typically not a focus area of tort law?

In tort law, the primary focus is on civil wrongs that cause harm to individuals, which can include actions like defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, and negligence resulting in physical harm. Each of these areas involves the idea that one party's wrongful actions cause harm or injury to another, allowing for the recovery of damages.

Contractual agreements, on the other hand, fall under contract law, which deals with breaches of agreements made between parties. While a breach of contract can result in some form of harm, the legal principles governing these situations are distinct from those of tort law. Tort law focuses primarily on non-contractual obligations and the duty individuals have to avoid causing harm to others, which is not the case with the agreements typically seen in contract law. Therefore, it is correct that contractual agreements are not a primary focus area of tort law.
