Is there any scope for a system, on a trial basis at least, of no-fault liability? How much of these costs are going on 'liability' and how much on 'quantum'? Even if an argument on liability is successfully defended, often the state has to 'compensate' the victim in the sense of providing for him via state benefits which would otherwise not have been paid. The argument in such cases then seems to me to be which arm of the state, the NHS or DWP, is going to look after and compensate this victim. What is the point of that?
