Question

The mental condition of a wrongdoer at the time of wrongdoing is:

A.

Relevant in all torts

B.

Relevant in torts based on fault

C.

Relevant in torts based on strict liability

D.

Not relevant at all

Correct option is B


In torts based on fault (such as negligence and intentional torts), the mental state of the wrongdoer is relevant in determining liability. However, in cases of strict liability (such as Rylands v. Fletcher), the defendant’s mental condition is not a factor in establishing liability.
