"Pay At The Pump" Auto Insurance: The California Vehicle Injury Plan (Vip) For Better Compensation, Fairer Funding, And Greater Safety, Stephen D. Sugarman Mar 1993

"Pay At The Pump" Auto Insurance: The California Vehicle Injury Plan (Vip) For Better Compensation, Fairer Funding, And Greater Safety, Stephen D. Sugarman

Stephen D Sugarman

This small book offers the basic argument for a comprehensive auto no-fault plan that is largely funded by payments made as motorists purchase gasoline. This VIP "Pay at the Pump" plan would replace the current scheme of tort liability and private automobile liability insurance. It would save most motorists money, it would more fairly price the cost of auto accidents, it would promote safer cars and safer driving, and it would far better compensate victims (especially seriously injured victims) of auto accidents than does the current scheme.

English Translation Of Judgment Of Cannon J In Montreal Tramways Co. V. Léveillé [1933] S.C.R. 456, Neil J. Foster

Neil J Foster

This is an English translation of the judgment of Cannon J in the Supreme Court of Canada decision of Montreal Tramways Co. v. Léveillé [1933] S.C.R. 456, a seminal decision on liability for antenatal torts. The English translation was prepared by the parties in the Supreme Court of Victoria decision of Watt v Rama [1972] VR 353 (see 357 for a summary). The full translation was located at the request of a student of mine in 2011 by the Registry of the Supreme Court of Victoria, and is made available here for general interest of scholars researching this area.
