New Tort Law Concept Holds Individuals Liable Regardless of Fault
The concept of no fault liability in tort law holds people responsible for harm caused to others, even if they didn't do anything wrong. There are two main types: strict liability and absolute liability. Strict liability applies when a dangerous thing causes harm or land is used in a non-natural way, with some defenses available. Absolute liability, on the other hand, offers no defenses - if the criteria are met, the person is held liable. This concept is important for developing countries like India to understand and implement as they progress.
