近年来,因疏忽提供的信息或咨询意见所致的侵权责任的范围一直是众多诉讼的主题。原告为能使侵权责任成立,首先必须证明被告对他或她负有“注意的责任”。证明注意的责任这一必要条件使法院能够确定会产生法律责任的诸情况和关系的范围。在相对短暂的时期里,法院用以裁决是否存在注意的责任的标准,无论是在有关疏忽的陈述方面还是在更广义意义上的有关任何形式的疏忽责任方面,都经历了根本的变革。本文目的在于审议这些发展的性质及其对于那些提供和接受专业咨询者的影响。
In recent years, the scope of tort liability resulting from inadvertent information or advice has been the subject of numerous lawsuits. To enable the tort liability to be established, the plaintiff must, first of all, prove that the defendant has a “duty of care” to him or her. The requirement of proof of accountability allows the court to determine the circumstances and the scope of the relationship that will create legal liability. In a relatively short period of time, the standards that courts use to decide whether there is a duty of care have undergone fundamental changes, both in the case of negligent statements and in the broader sense of any form of negligence. The purpose of this paper is to examine the nature of these developments and their impact on those who provide and receive professional advice.
