The Provincial Government Has Become Very Concerned About the Number

The provincial government has become very concerned about the number of torts that occur each year that result in personal injuries.Aside from the human misery that they cause, those accidents cost society a great deal of money.A tort victim cannot be a productive member of the work force while they are recuperating at home or in hospital.The provincial government consequently has asked you to prepare a report on how the rules in tort law might be reformed to more effectively deter tortious behaviour.Your report should include a discussion of (a) the availability of liability insurance, and (b) the rules of vicarious liability.You have also been asked to consider whether it is always desirable to deter activities that may result in tortious losses.
