- Title
ENTERPRISE LIABILITY, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE.
- Authors
BAXTER, WILLIAM F.
- Abstract
The author discusses the rationalization of an immunity law for a government official. He proposes the application of a social welfare argument on scope of damage, cost of enforcement and impact on the federal program to which the transgression is linked. He presents a hypothesis on the application of the immunity rule on an employee who committed a transgression that caused harm to a third party and the civil lawsuit filed against the private company. He explains the application of the same scenario to a government officer who committed a civil liability.
