Liability and Fault in Reasonableness and Risk

Abstract This comment examines Reasonableness and Risk 's pluralist account of strict liability, based on sovereignty rights and fairness. It begins by explaining the book's cogent arguments for some strict liability, and elaborates on how they might further be strengthened. More critically, it suggests that it is unclear why the book rejects more wide-ranging wrongs-based strict liability, and that its fairness justification needs further refinement.
