| Sumario: | The purpose of this article is to raise a number of objections to the economic explanation of tort law. They are primarily based on the conceptual distortion that occurs when tort law is interpreted in light of the efficiency principle. Particularly, it is argued that the exclusive use of the cost benefit analysis cannot provide an account of the actual practice of the Courts. The consequentialist reasoning does not fit in with the arguments leading to a responsibility judgment that strongly stresses the deontic language nor with the sense of the judicial decisions. So, among other things, the efficiency principle cannot account for the conceptual distinction between wrongful conduct and merely risky conduct; neither can capture the relevance of causation in tort law, nor explain its bilateral structure. For these reasons, economic theories cannot provide a representation of tort law that is recognizable for those individuals who take up the internal point of view |
