In what sense have we come full circle in tort law in terms of assigning fault?

What will be an ideal response?


Strict liability (no fault) reigned supreme during early Anglo-Saxon law and was evident in the action in trespass. Only in actions on the case did the notion of duty and neglect arise. Now, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, strict liability has once again assumed importance in our legal system. More and more modern courts are assigning liability even where there is no showing of fault.
