Subject field(s)
  • Tort Law (common law)
CONT

French

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

Les considérations de principe sont pragmatiques : l’imposition d’une responsabilité indéterminée et imprévisible donnerait lieu à des « conséquences sociales non souhaitables », notamment une hausse des coûts en matière d’assurance et de litiges, une diminution de la disponibilité des services de vérification et une réduction potentielle de la vigilance des tiers.
