TORT LIABILITY OF THE STATE: THE FEDERAL TORT CLAIMS ACT AND THE CROWN PROCEEDINGS ACT

Authors

Harry Street, Manchester University, Manchester, England

Abstract

Anglo-American legal systems have for so long lingered behind the Continent of Europe in developing a satisfactory basis of governmental civil liability that the enactment of the Federal Tort Claims Act of 1946 in the United States, and the Crown Proceedings Act of 1947 in Great Britain are events justifying a comparison and evaluation of these belated attempts to provide the citizens with an adequate remedy against the State.
