ABSTRACT

Liability embodies the binding of a person breaching a duty of conduct imposed in the interest of another person to compensate for damages. The foregoing generic formulation of liability divides into two kinds of liability commonly named contractual liability and aquiliana, civil, extraor non-contractual liability.315 The former entails the infringement of a duty of conduct set out in a contract. The latter involves the breaching of the generic duty neminem laedere, that is, the duty to refrain from any behaviour damaging anybody.
