Battery, for example (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tort

'battery for example' is the definition.
(I know that assault and battery is a type of assault)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for tort that I've seen before include "Wrongful act (in law)" , "Legal wrongdoing" , "Legal wrong for which damages may be sought" , "Legal wrong or injury" , "Trot to get legal wrong" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
