    Question

    The liability has been defined as "the bond of necessity that exists between the wrongdoer and the remedy of the wrong" by:

    A.

    Austin

    B.

    Bentham

    C.

    Salmond

    D.

    Holland

    Correct option is C


    Salmond defined liability as the essential bond between wrongdoing and the obligation to make reparation. Liability binds the wrongdoer to the legal consequences of his act.
    Information Booster:
    · Liability can be civil or criminal depending on the nature of the wrong.
    · Salmond’s work on "Jurisprudence" offers a detailed analysis of legal relations including rights, duties, and liabilities.
    · In law, liability is often classified into strict liability, absolute liability, and vicarious liability.
    Additional Information:
    · Strict Liability (Rylands v. Fletcher case) imposes liability without fault.
    · Absolute Liability (MC Mehta v. Union of India) evolved for hazardous industries.
    · Vicarious Liability occurs when someone is held responsible for another's act (like employer for employee).
