An intentional tort is a wrong perpetrated by someone on purpose.
The intent refers to the purpose of doing the act, not knowledge about the law. All are presumed to know the law.
Chopping down a neighbor's tree, for example, is an intentional tort, even if one was mistaken about where the property boundary is.
