Abstract
At common law no action could be brought for loss suffered through the killing of another. But this was altered by the Fatal Accidents Acts 1846–1959, now the Fatal Accidents Act 1976 (FAA 1976) (as amended by the Administration of Justice Act 1982, s 3) which gives a statutory action ‘… if death is caused by any wrongful act, neglect or default …’ Most such statutory actions are founded on a tort by the defendant but the basis may be breach of contract.
