Funded Activity Summary

Causation and Liability for Wrongs: A Globalised Analysis. All Australians pay when fundamental legal concepts are unclear. Practitioners' advice to clients becomes difficult, costly and uncertain. Disputants are more likely to litigate, putting unnecessary pressure on over-stretched court resources. Australians pay for courts through taxes and pay indirectly when commercial litigants push their higher legal costs down into the prices they charge. Drawing on materials world-wide this project will produce a globally-applicable elaboration of two especially problematic concepts, causation and the extent of liability. Such clarification should reduce waste in the Australian economy while ensuring a basic requirement of justice: that like cases are treated alike. Assessment of damages.
