Compensation systems have emerged in a number of fields. These compensation systems draw on tort principles, in part accentuating tort law. However, as often they develop principles or interpret doctrine to achieve goals quite apart from tort law. The resulting decisions and interpretive approaches often distort tort doctrine. This panel explores the overlap between tort law and other compensation systems and some of the consequences of these developments for tort law.
