Another method for dealing with the liability concerns of professionals would be to introduce a [limit] on the amount of damages available for claims for economic loss in connection with certain types of work. There are a number of ways to do this. A single monetary amount could be established as a limit or the limit could be based on a percentage of the fee charged by the professional, or a percentage of damages awarded, or some other established amount. 2, record 3, English, - liability%20cap

Une autre manière de traiter des questions de responsabilité professionnelle consisterait à plafonner le montant des dommages-intérêts dans les actions pour préjudice financier dans le cas de certains types de tâches. Il existe plusieurs façons de le faire. Il pourrait être établi un montant unique à titre de limite ou bien la limite pourrait être fondée sur un pourcentage des honoraires exigés par le membre de profession libérale ou un pourcentage des dommages-intérêts adjugés ou tout autre montant établi. 2, record 3, French, - limite%20de%20responsabilit%C3%A9
