quasi-criminal tortious liability

Explanation:
"Delictual" is an obsolete term in English, meaning "tortious".
There is no lesser degree of non-contractual liability than tortious, because tortious liability includes intentional torts and all forms of negligence.
Therefore I conclude that the author meant "quasi-criminal tortious" liability. Meer context nodig is.

Stated otherwise: The term "quasi-delictuele" taken literally is nonsense. Therefore it must mean "quasi-criminal tortious", in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

According to jarry - http://www.proz.com/profile/1291
"This explanation is broadly in line with Henry
Campbell Black's explanation, viz that under Roman law the
term delict, in its most general sense, is wider in both
directions than our English term 'tort'." ((Not 100% with permission.))
