RESPONSIBILITY
(bouvier) | RESPONSIBILITY. The obligation to answer for an act done, and to repair any
injury it may have caused.
2. This obligation arises without any contract, either on the part of
the party bound to repair the injury, or of the party injured. The law gives
to the person who has suffered loss, a compensation in damages.
3. it is a general rule that no one is answerable for the acts of
another unless he has, by some act of his own, concurred in them. But when
he has sanctioned those acts, either explicitly or by implication, he is
responsible. An innkeeper in general, civilly liable for the acts of his
servants towards his guests, for anything done in their capacity of
servants. The owner of a carriage is also, civilly responsible to a
passenger for any injury done by the driver as such. See Driver.
4. There are cases where persons are made civilly responsible for the
acts of others by particular laws and statutory provisions, when they have
not done anything by which they might be considered as participating in such
acts. The responsibility which the hundred (q.v.) in England formerly
incurred to make good any robbery committed within its precincts, may be
mentioned as an instance. A somewhat similar liability is incurred now in
some places in this country by a county, when property has been destroyed by
a mob.
5. Penal responsibility is always personal, and no one can be punished
for the commission of a crime but the person who has committed it or his
accomplice. Vide Damages; Injury; Loss.
