CHINA'S top legislature approved the tort liability law on Saturday when it ended its five-day bimonthly session.
The 92-provision law covers liabilities for a range of circumstances, including traffic accidents, medical accidents, work-related injuries, pollution, harm caused by other people's pets and mental distress.
It also covers infringements of personal rights, such as name, reputation, portrait and privacy.
The law, with equal importance with the Property Law, was endorsed by the National People's Congress Standing Committee.
It takes effect next July.
