THE HE only rational basis for allowing recovery in tort seems to be blamableness. To allow one man to compel another to make good a loss which the first has suffered, when that other is no more to blame than he, simply transfers the misfortune from one innocent party to another equally innocent. That it was the defendant whose act caused the loss does not alter the case. People must act. One cannot then be considered reprehensible merely because he has acted. Because of this necessary action accidents will happen and losses will occur when neither party is at all in fault. If the law is to do anything in such cases the sensible thing would be to divide the loss equally between the parties concerned. The common law does not do this. The reasons no doubt are historical. In a rude stage of civilization it seemed fairly reasonable to make a man pay for all the damage he had done, and the rule of absolute liability was the result. In getting away from that rule the courts have held that, in this case and that where previously there was liability, there shall be no recovery. As a result, in many cases the party suffering the loss can recover nothing, while in the rest he can hold the defendant liable for all the damage done. Granting that we cannot have a division of misfortune, it is useless simply to shift it unless for good reason. It is better, then, where neither party is to blame, to let the loss lie where it happens to fall. There is of course nothing new in the above paragraph. The |
