Personal Responsibility
An Australian Perspective
By: Barry Goldsmith
The movement was prompted by, or at least gained momentum from, the collapse in Australia of HIH Insurance Group, which had about 22% of the public liability insurance market, and a major medical insurer, the impact of the 11 September 2001 attacks on the global reinsurance market and increasing awards of damages by the Courts. The increasing awards of damages by the Courts was of even greater concern when coupled with an extremely litigious society composed of many individuals who were not prepared to take responsibility for their own actions. Many saw the balance of responsibility between society and the individual, reflected by tort law and insurance, shifting in an uneasy way. |
In 2001/ 2002, there was considerable movement in Australia towards tort law reform, specifically upon the question of personal responsibility.
