It may be part of a suit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tort

(Other definitions for tort that I've seen before include "Legal wrong or injury" , "Private or civil wrong open to damages" , "Private or civil wrong in law" , "A private or civil wrong that may attract damages" , "Legal wrong for which damages may be sought" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
