The author of this important new book states that there is a general feeling that tort law is in crisis as conflicting aims and purposes pull it in different directions causing a lack of uniformity in the legal solutions. There are three pairs of concepts which dominate the contemporary discussion: moral responsibility and social utility corrective and distributive justice strict liability and fault. The book analyses these concepts and examines their use in the liability context.
