Abstract | Recent recommendation of the Royal Commission into Institutional Child Sexual Abuse that Australia should legislate to recognise a non-delegable duty of care on some institutions – uncertainty regarding the status of non-delegable duties in the law of tort in Australia – circumstances under which a non-delegable duty of care should or could be imposed – whether developments in the law of torts have rendered it superfluous – argument that the tragedy of child sexual abuse should not be the catalyst for the revitalisation of non-delegable duties in Australian tort law. |
