ABSTRACT
A concept related to that of legal duty is the concept of legal responsibility (liability). That a person is legally responsible for a certain behavior or that he bears the legal responsibility therefor means that he is liable to a sanction in case of contrary behavior. Normally, that is, in case the sanction is directed against the immediate delinquent, it is his own behavior for which an individual is responsible. In this case the subject of the legal responsibility and the subject of the legal duty coincide.
