By Brian Madigan LL.B.
The Negligence Act deals with several aspects of negligence, liability and apportionment, including
1) liability,
2) apportionment between joint tortfeasors,
3) apportionment to plaintiff,
4) no determination of apportionment, and
5) procedural matters.
The difficulty arises in cases where there are several parties who might be liable for the damages including the plaintiff himself. The Act specifies the law, the presumptions of law, apportionment and subsequent contribution as between the parties liable.
