If A was keeping certain dangereous chemicals at his home and the fumes from those chemicals lead to death of the neighbours. What defence is avaialble to A ?
Act of God
Due Care
Both (a) & (b)
No Defence available
One of the distinguishing features of the Rule of Absolute Liability is that it does not allow the defendant to raise common defenses like an act of God (unforeseeable natural events), act of a third party, or contributory negligence by the plaintiff. Hence, option (d) is correct.
