Relating to or constituting a delict; concerning wrongful or illegal acts in a legal sense.
From delict plus the adjective-forming suffix -ual, creating a formal adjective used primarily in legal contexts and academic writing.
Legal adjectives ending in -ual (like 'contractual,' 'perpetual,' 'intellectual') often feel weightier and more formal than their base nouns—'delictual liability' just sounds more official than 'tort liability,' even though they mean the same thing.
