Comparative responsibility

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article covers the same subject as contributory negligence. As an example of this, the only reference (Daly v. General Motors Corp) is related to contributory negligence, and does not mention "comparative responsibility" 1292simon (talk) 11:57, 16 September 2014 (UTC) Withdrawn - no point dragging this out! Apologies that I did not pick up on the difference between the two concepts. 1292simon (talk) 13:28, 18 September 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep. I believe that comparative responsibility and contributory negligence are distinct competing doctrines, as suggested by the literature. See Richard Mann, ‎Barry Roberts, Smith and Roberson's Business Law (2008), p. 471: "The harshness of the contributory negligence doctrine has caused all but a few States to substitute the doctrine of comparative negligence". (Emphasis added). Obviously if they are the same thing, then it wouldn't make sense for a state to substitute the second as a repudiation of the first. bd2412  T 13:08, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Firstly, whatever "comparative responsibility" is, it clearly satisfies GNG. Secondly, this AfD should probably be closed as "speedy keep" on grounds that the nominator appears to be proposing a merger instead of a deletion. James500 (talk) 01:29, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
