ABSTRACT
This article hopes to make a novel case for the abolition of tort law. The first part is dedicated to a sequential critique of tort, beginning with a conceptual account of its essential features, followed by a moral evaluation of those features. Emphasis is placed on the tension between relief for injury and detriment for wrongdoing in tort. The second part seeks to explore and articulate potential alternatives to tort law, with a view to fill the vacuum left upon its hypothetical abolition. Particular attention is paid once more to the notions of relief and detriment in a post-tort world.
