Tort Law and Economic Interests

Peter Cane

Résumé

In recent years most tort lawyers have tended to concentrate upon the primary concern of tort law, which is to provide a system of compensation for death and personal injury. As a result, doubts have arisen as to the extent to which the law of tort should be involved in the protection of economic interests, such as business losses caused by competitors and employees and, more generally, on economic losses caused by negligent conduct. This study is the first attempt to examine the concepts, principles, and interconnections of tort law, and how the legal principles relate to the actual activity of wealth creation and preservation. Focusing on the nature of the plantiff's interest, the complaint and the action the law is prepared to take, this approach will cast new light on the aims, functions, and justifications, both social and doctrinal, for the law of tort so far as it is concerned with wealth.
