Interrelation between tort liability and strict liability in cases of compensation for damages resulting from economic crime

Abstract

The relevance of the issue of the relationship between the doctrine of tort liability andstrict liability is caused by the decisions of the Supreme Court of Georgia in 2015 on two identicalcriminal cases of tax evasion, whereby the strict liability of the partner was used as the legal basis forcompensation of property damage, instead of tortious liability. This article discusses the principles ofvicarious liability and tortious liability in determining property liability resulting from economic crime.
