Abstract
The characterisation of a no-fault scheme is rooted in the principle of distributive justice, compensating victims without having to establish causation and fault. Conversely, current liability for negligence involves fault considerations based on legal theoretical concepts determined through judicial precedent, which are inherently limited within the confines of the established legal principles of duty of care, proximity and negligence. This in itself creates a tension as wider concepts of "fault" are not currently covered under the law of negligence.
