Jeffrey S. Helmreich
An orthodox view of tort law sees it as primarily a means of assigning costs -- for economic reasons, on some views, or for moral reasons, on others. Gregory Keating compellingly challenges this orthodoxy, showing how tort is essentially a matter of setting prospective norms designed to protect rational agents from wrongful harms, to which it attaches special negative significance. Here I discuss two areas that may raise complications for this account -- strict liability and the tortious infliction of pain -- and propose a reconciliation.
正统的侵权法观点认为,侵权法主要是一种分配成本的手段--在某些观点中是出于经济原因,在另一些观点中则是出于道德原因。格雷戈里-基廷(Gregory Keating)对这一正统观点提出了令人信服的挑战,他说明了侵权法本质上是一个制定预期规范的问题,旨在保护理性的行为人免受不法侵害,而侵权法对不法侵害赋予了特殊的负面意义。在此,我将讨论可能使这一论述复杂化的两个领域--严格责任和侵权造成痛苦--并提出一种调和方法。

Reasonableness and Risk offers two main claims that might open up fruitful avenues for further reflection. The first claim has to do with the need to abandon form and turn our attention to substance. The argument is that we cannot understand or justify the law of torts without attending to the interests that it protects. The second claim is related to the need to abandon the habit of treating torts in isolation and instead study its integration within a web of institutions which share responsibility for protecting the urgent interests of members of society. The argument here is that our urgent interest in physical integrity exceeds (goes beyond and is greater than) the law of torts. In engaging with these claims, this paper points out potential connections with some pressing questions for both tort law and risk regulation brought to the fore by the recent emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems.
合理性与风险》提出了两个主要主张,可能会为进一步思考开辟富有成效的途径。第一种主张是,我们有必要放弃形式,转而关注实质。其论点是,如果不关注侵权法所保护的利益,我们就无法理解侵权法,也无法证明侵权法的合理性。第二种主张与需要摒弃孤立地对待侵权行为的习惯有关,而是要研究侵权行为在各种制度网络中的整合,这些制度共同承担着保护社会成员紧迫利益的责任。这里的论点是,我们在人身安全方面的紧迫利益超出(超越和大于)侵权法。在探讨这些主张时,本文指出了与侵权法和风险监管的一些紧迫问题之间的潜在联系,这些问题是最近出现的人工智能(AI)系统所带来的。

What We Talk About When We Talk About the Duty of Care in Negligence Law: The Utah Supreme Court Sets an Example in Boynton v. Kennecott Utah Copper 当我们谈论过失法中的注意义务时,我们谈论的是什么:犹他州最高法院在 Boynton 诉 Kennecott Utah Copper 案中树立了榜样

Every day, state common law courts define the duty of care in negligence law. There is no formula for how courts should determine duty. Yet when judges are charged with important decisions about whether to open or shut the courthouse doors to whole categories of claimants, judges need some framework for decision. This article commends as an exemplar, the Utah Supreme Court’s decision in Boynton v. Kennicott Utah Copper, a take-home asbestos exposure case. The power of Boynton is not only the answer it provides, but also the coherent framework for analysis that Justice Constandinos Himonas’ opinion sets forth. The opinion’s framework incorporates established principles as well as important tort policies such as harm prevention. Boynton’s structure at once provides the stability and consistency of precedent befitting common law adjudication while also incorporating the public policy and pragmatic concerns that have long guided tort law’s development. Boynton’s framework achieves a similar result to the one in the Third Restatement—creating duty and no-duty rules with possibility of exception based on principle and policy factors. However, Boynton does so through traditional terminology that has aquired meaning through repeated historical application. Courts, scholars and students would be well advised to examine the Utah Supreme Court’s approach to duty analysis.
各州普通法法院每天都在界定过失法中的注意义务。对于法院应如何确定责任,没有任何公式可循。然而,当法官负责作出重要决定,是向所有类别的索赔人敞开还是关闭法院大门时,法官需要一些决策框架。本文以犹他州最高法院在 Boynton 诉肯尼科特犹他铜业公司(Kennicott Utah Copper)一案中的判决为范例。Boynton 案的力量不仅在于它提供的答案,还在于康斯坦丁诺斯-希莫纳斯法官在意见书中提出的连贯的分析框架。意见书的框架包含了既定的原则以及重要的侵权政策,如损害预防。博因顿的结构既提供了与普通法判决相匹配的稳定性和判例的一致性,同时也纳入了长期以来指导侵权法发展的公共政策和实用主义关切。博因顿的框架实现了与《第三次重述》类似的结果--根据原则和政策因素创建了有责任和无责任规则,并提供了例外的可能性。不过,博因顿是通过传统术语来实现这一目标的,这些术语在反复的历史应用中获得了意义。法院、学者和学生最好研究一下犹他州最高法院的义务分析方法。

In re Facebook preserved a class action brought against Facebook based on its mass collection of web browsing data. Although the plaintiffs brought several common law and statutory causes of action, I will focus on the court’s analysis of intrusion upon seclusion. This is where the case makes its greatest contribution to 21st century jurisprudence. It clears up several puzzles that had troubled the tort (and indeed my own thinking) to the great benefit of tort theory and the progress of privacy law.
In re Facebook 案保留了因 Facebook 大量收集网页浏览数据而对其提起的集体诉讼。虽然原告提出了多项普通法和法定诉讼理由,但我将重点关注法院对侵犯隐私行为的分析。这是本案对 21 世纪法理学的最大贡献。它厘清了困扰侵权法的几个难题(实际上也是我自己的想法),对侵权理论和隐私法的进步大有裨益。

Disentangling Immigration Policy From Tort Claims for Future Lost Wages 移民政策与未来工资损失侵权索赔的分离

While largely unknown, the Indiana Supreme Court’s 2017 opinion Escamilla v. Shiel Sexton Co. deserves to be canonized for closely examining – and, ultimately, rejecting – the incursion of federal immigration law and policy into state tort law. For over two decades, state and federal courts have relied on the United States Supreme Court’s 2002 ruling in Hoffman Plastic Compounds v. NLRB, to deny future lost wages awards to successful tort claimants who lack documentation. Escamilla reveals the faulty logic underlying this caselaw and provides a clear and straightforward framework for future courts to employ when faced with this issue. Ultimately, Escamilla demonstrates why plaintiffs’ undocumented status, alone, is insufficient to allow tortfeasors to escape paying tort victims what often amounts to substantial damages. In doing so, Escamilla fortifies the compensation and deterrence functions of tort law.
印第安纳州最高法院 2017 年对 Escamilla 诉 Shiel Sexton Co.一案的意见虽然在很大程度上不为人所知,但却因其对联邦移民法律和政策侵入州侵权法的情况进行了仔细审查--并最终予以驳回--而值得被奉为典范。二十多年来,州法院和联邦法院一直依据美国最高法院 2002 年在 Hoffman Plastic Compounds 诉 NLRB 一案中的裁决,拒绝向缺乏文件证明的成功侵权索赔人支付未来的工资损失赔偿。埃斯卡米拉揭示了这一判例法背后的错误逻辑,并为未来的法院在面对这一问题时提供了一个清晰明了的框架。Escamilla 案最终证明了为什么仅凭原告的无证身份不足以让侵权人逃避向侵权受害人支付通常相当于巨额损害赔偿的赔偿金。这样,Escamilla 强化了侵权法的赔偿和威慑功能。

Putting “Duty” Back on Track 让 "职责 "回归正轨

Gregory C. Keating
Brown v. USA Taekwondo grapples with the problems that have dogged California law governing the determination of duty in negligence for more than fifty years now. The great California duty decisions of the late 1960s—Rowland v. Christian and Dillon v. Legg—were the bookends to an age of American tort law inaugurated by MacPherson v. Buick and Palsgraf v. Long Island Railroad. MacPherson and Palsgraf altered both the internal structure of negligence law and tort law’s relation to contract and property by making reasonable foreseeability of harm the master principle of responsibility in tort. Rowland and Dillon brought the age of reasonable foreseeability to a close. As their implications unfolded over time, we learned that making reasonable foreseeability of harm the fundamental test for both the existence of obligation and the extent of liability imposes more responsibility than we can bear. Reaching the limits of reasonable foreseeability as the master principle of duty doctrine left courts hard-pressed to say when fundamental responsibilities of care should be expanded and when they should be contracted. Ever since, California courts have been muddling their way through duty cases. They have been uncertain both about when an actor bears some responsibility for reducing a risk or mitigating a harm and about how they should go about making such determinations. USA Taekwondo’s efforts to recast Rowland’s laundry list of relevant factors as a two-step test shows us how we might begin to bring our own age of confusion to a close.
布朗诉美国跆拳道案 "所涉及的问题困扰了加利福尼亚州关于过失责任判定的法律五十多年。20 世纪 60 年代末期加州的重大责任判决--Rowland 诉 Christian 案和 Dillon 诉 Legg 案--是 MacPherson 诉别克案和 Palsgraf 诉长岛铁路公司案所开创的美国侵权法时代的结束。MacPherson 案和 Palsgraf 案改变了过失法的内部结构以及侵权法与合同和财产的关系,将损害的合理可预见性作为侵权责任的主要原则。罗兰和狄龙案为合理可预见性时代画上了句号。随着时间的推移,我们了解到,将合理的损害可预见性作为义务存在与否和责任大小的基本检验标准,所强加的责任超出了我们所能承受的范围。将合理的可预见性作为责任理论的主要原则,使得法院很难说清楚何时应该扩大基本的注意责任,何时应该收缩这些责任。从那时起,加州法院在审理责任案件时就陷入了困境。他们既不确定行为人何时应承担降低风险或减轻伤害的责任,也不确定应如何做出此类决定。美国跆拳道协会(USA Taekwondo)努力将罗兰(Rowland)列出的一系列相关因素重塑为一个两步测试法,向我们展示了如何开始结束我们自己的混乱时代。

Public Authority Liability for Careless Failure to Protect from Harm 公共机构因疏忽大意未能提供保护而造成伤害的责任

Abstract This article considers the UK Supreme Court decision in Michael v Chief Constable of South Wales Police. It explains the significance of the decision in terms of its affirmation of the principle that public authorities, in the case, the police, are subject to the same duties of care as private individuals in the tort of negligence. While offering some support for this ‘equality principle’, the article questions whether the principle is justifiably applied so as to restrict public authorities’ liability to that of private individuals.
摘要 本文探讨了英国最高法院对迈克尔诉南威尔士警察局长一案的判决。文章解释了该判决的重要意义,即它肯定了公共机构(在本案中为警察)在过失侵权中与私人负有同样的注意义务这一原则。文章在对这一 "平等原则 "表示支持的同时,也质疑了该原则的适用是否合理,从而将公共机构的责任限制在与私人相同的范围内。

Private Nuisance: The UK Supreme Court Take a View 私人滋扰:英国最高法院的观点

Abstract Fearn v Board of Trustees of the Tate Gallery, required the UK Supreme Court to resolve claims that by operating an open-air terrace, from which visitors could enjoy a high-level view of London, the defendants were committing the tort of private nuisance against the owners of nearby luxury flats. The Court decided that the intrusive staring into the flats by visitors to the terrace could be a form of private nuisance, but split as to whether the tort was being committed; a minority thought that it would be necessary to take account of the claimants’ flats being glass-walled, and consequently unusually vulnerable to ocular intrusion, and the possibility of the claimants mitigating their discomfort by using blinds, whilst the majority insisted that it was straightforward to hold the defendants liable. This article concentrates on the majority’s re-statement of the basic test for liability in private nuisance, in particular their shift from an approach that assesses the “reasonableness” (or otherwise) of the defendant’s activity to one that relies heavily on a distinction between “common and ordinary” and “special and unusual” uses of land. It concludes that several key elements in the re-statement will require further elucidation, and that the key distinction does not reflect the values that its proponents hoped that it would.
费恩诉泰特美术馆董事会一案,要求英国最高法院裁决被告通过经营露天露台,让游客可以从高处欣赏伦敦的景色,对附近豪华公寓的业主构成私人滋扰侵权。法院裁定,游客在露台上侵入性地盯着公寓可能是一种私人滋扰,但对于是否构成侵权行为存在分歧;少数人认为有必要考虑到索赔人的公寓是玻璃墙,因此特别容易受到视觉干扰,以及索赔人通过使用百叶窗来减轻他们的不适的可能性,而大多数人坚持认为追究被告的责任是直截了当地的。本文集中讨论多数人对私人妨害责任的基本测试的重新陈述,特别是他们从评估被告活动的“合理性”(或其他)的方法转变为严重依赖于区分“普通和普通”以及“特殊和不寻常”土地用途的方法。它的结论是,重述中的几个关键因素需要进一步阐明,关键的区别并没有反映其支持者所希望的价值。

Sherman v. Department of Public Safety: Institutional Responsibility for Sexual Assault 谢尔曼诉公共安全部:性侵犯的制度责任
Q3 Social Sciences Pub Date : 2023-11-06 DOI: 10.1515/jtl-2023-0034
John C. P. Goldberg, Benjamin C. Zipursky
Abstract This article addresses the intersection of three important topics: sexual assault, police misconduct, and employer liability for employee torts. As to the last of these, while there have long been debates among jurists in the U.S. concerning the proper scope of respondeat superior liability, courts have mostly adhered to an approach that focuses on whether the employee acted for the purpose of serving the employer’s interests. The narrowness of this purpose-based test, as compared to available alternatives, makes it imperative for lawyers, judges, and scholars to be attentive to other, less well-known, bases for employer liability. In Sherman v Department of Public Safety , the Delaware Supreme Court applied a particular version of one such doctrine – the “aided-by-agency” doctrine – to hold a police department accountable for its officer’s sexual assault of an arrestee. By articulating this doctrine in a thoughtful and circumscribed manner, the Court affirmed its reputation as a leader in the development of agency law, while also providing a helpful framework that can be applied to hold certain employers liable when employees take advantage of their employment-based authority over their victims to perpetrate assaults.
摘要本文探讨了三个重要议题的交集:性侵犯、警察不当行为和雇主对雇员侵权行为的责任。至于最后一点,虽然美国法学家长期以来一直在争论被告上级责任的适当范围,但法院大多坚持关注雇员的行为是否为雇主的利益服务的方法。与现有的替代方法相比,这种基于目的的测试的局限性使得律师、法官和学者必须注意其他不太为人所知的雇主责任基础。在谢尔曼诉公共安全部案中,特拉华州最高法院应用了此类原则的一个特殊版本——“机构协助”原则——要求警察部门对其警官对被捕者的性侵犯负责。通过以深思熟虑和有限制的方式阐明这一原则,最高法院确认了其作为机构法发展的领导者的声誉,同时也提供了一个有用的框架,当雇员利用其基于就业的权力对受害者实施攻击时,可以适用于追究某些雇主的责任。

As to the last of these, while there have long been debates among jurists in the U.S. concerning the proper scope of respondeat superior liability, courts have mostly adhered to an approach that focuses on whether the employee acted for the purpose of serving the employer’s interests. The narrowness of this purpose-based test, as compared to available alternatives, makes it imperative for lawyers, judges, and scholars to be attentive to other, less well-known, bases for employer liability. In Sherman v Department of Public Safety , the Delaware Supreme Court applied a particular version of one such doctrine – the “aided-by-agency” doctrine – to hold a police department accountable for its officer’s sexual assault of an arrestee. By articulating this doctrine in a thoughtful and circumscribed manner, the Court affirmed its reputation as a leader in the development of agency law, while also providing a helpful framework that can be applied to hold certain employers liable when employees take advantage of their employment-based authority over their victims to perpetrate assaults.","PeriodicalId":39054,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Tort Law","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135585061","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Tort of Discrimination 歧视侵权

Abstract This Essay integrates two ambitions: to lay out new theoretical foundations for antidiscrimination law and to demonstrate the practical significance of these foundations to tackle instances of wrongful discrimination beyond the reach of the current legal regime. Concerning theory, we articulate an account of wrongful discrimination grounded in private law’s basic commitment to reciprocal respect for the self-determination and substantive equality of private persons. Concerning practice, we argue that antidiscrimination law is currently at its pre-MacPherson v. Buick stage, meaning it is made up of isolated pockets of liability for discriminatory behavior. The gaps between them are indefensible since they necessarily undermine people’s fundamental right to be treated as equals by holders of normative powers such as proprietors, employers, and lessors. Nothing short of a full-blown tort of discrimination will enable antidiscrimination law to reach its own MacPherson moment. The theoretical account we develop provides the necessary framework for embarking on this crucial endeavor: a clear articulation of the normative foundations of this tort as an integral and indispensable part of private law in a liberal society. Drawing on existing tort doctrines, we identify important legal tools that can be utilized for prescribing the proper elements—duty, breach, injury, causation, and remedy—of a novel, generic tort of discrimination.
摘要本文旨在为反歧视法提供新的理论基础,并展示这些理论基础对解决现行法律制度无法解决的不正当歧视问题的现实意义。在理论方面,我们以私法对相互尊重个人自决和实质平等的基本承诺为基础,阐述了对非法歧视的解释。在实践方面,我们认为反歧视法目前处于麦克弗森诉别克案之前的阶段,这意味着它是由歧视行为的孤立责任组成的。它们之间的差距是站不住脚的,因为它们必然会损害人们被业主、雇主和出租人等规范权力持有者平等对待的基本权利。只有全面的歧视侵权行为才能使反歧视法达到自己的麦克弗森时刻。我们发展的理论解释为开展这一关键努力提供了必要的框架:将这种侵权行为作为自由社会私法中不可或缺的组成部分的规范基础清晰地表达出来。根据现有的侵权理论,我们确定了重要的法律工具,这些工具可以用来规定一种新的、通用的歧视侵权行为的适当要素——义务、违约、伤害、因果关系和救济。
