Deviating from the principle of full compensation in Belgian tort law

"As an exception to the rule that the loss lies where it falls, tort law shifts the loss on the basis of the tortfeasor's responsibility. Key to the scope of the redress is the fundamental principle of full compensation. It is based on a traditional balancing of interests, where the interest of the innocent victim prevails over the interest of the guilty person. Yet, our increasingly complex society and the wide array of deviations calls for a reassessment of the absolute nature of the 200-year-old principle of full compensation. What if it becomes completely unfair to award a full compensation? How does one take into account that strict liabilities also spread the loss instead of merely shifting it?"--Back cover.
