Landmark Ruling Redefines No-Fault Liability, Reshaping China's Legal Landscape
The article discusses the concept of no-fault liability in the context of Chinese law. It argues that the current definition of no-fault liability is vague and needs clarification in the upcoming Chinese Tort Liability Law. The authors suggest that in certain cases, a person should be held responsible for harm caused by their actions, regardless of whether they intended to cause harm or not. This principle, known as strict liability, aims to ensure that victims are compensated for damages even if the person at fault did not act with negligence. The article suggests that by clearly defining and implementing this principle in Chinese law, it can improve accountability and fairness in cases where harm occurs.
