  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

At one time the courts flirted with the notion of holding actors liable for all of the consequences of their negligent conduct, whether or not they were foreseeable or direct. This prospect was described as unthinkable and startling and before very long the idea of unlimited liability was abandoned.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Droit des délits (common law)
CONT

Les tribunaux ont déjà caressé l'idée de tenir les défendeurs responsables de toutes les conséquences de leur négligence, qu'elles soient ou non prévisibles ou directes. Cette approche a été qualifiée d' "impensable" et de "renversante", et l'idée de responsabilité illimitée a été très vite écartée.
