Musket Corp Inevitable accidents and the law of God, as a defense in tort INTRODUCTIONThe law of responsibility is a concept that has evolved through the ages. This dynamic evolution over the tort has been hard on many principles in tort may be required. At the same time, certain principles are used to counter these claims. These counterclaims, or defenses are used to evict the innocent citizens of tort that has been unfairly questioned claims made on them.
