A Theory Of Economic Loss In The Law Of Torts, Mario Rizzo

Mario Rizzo

This article contains a general theory that explains why pure economic loss ( that is, financial loss not associated with physical harm to the person or property of the plaintiff) is not to be recoverable at times and is recoverable at other times. The theory stresses the importance in the law of reducing contracting costs while still providing incentives to avoid true social costs.
