Strictly, vicarious and occupiers liability.



i). Strictly liability

Strictly Liability is the liability without fault. That is where a man acts at his own peril and is responsible for accidental harm, independently of the existence of either wrongful intent or negligence. In criminal law, it is the liability without mens rea. e.g. in liability for the escape of dangerous things.

(ii). Vicarious Liability 

Vicarious liability is the liability of the master for the torts committed by his servant in the course of his employment.

(iii). Occupies Liability 

Occupies liability is the duty of the occupier of premises towards the one who lawfully visits his premises. The liability of the occupier is not only limited to premises, that is, liability extends to occupiers of vehicle. In Tanzania, occupiers liability is governed by Occupiers Liabilities Act, 1968.
