Legal Help Concerning the Civil Liability of Non-Discerning Beings

[mathew_damian]

Hello everybody, I've come across you while searching the net, and thought I'd have a chance to get a little help from you.

First things first, my name is matt and I've finished my 4th and final year @ Law in Romania. For my degree, I have to write a thesis, and I chose to write it on the possibility that persons without reasoning/discerning capability could be held liable for damages of their doing, if there isn't anyone legally responsible for them and if their patrimonial extent allows it.

Now you all know that we have a totally different judicial system so, I'm asking anybody who studied/studies a common-law-based system to point me in the right direction... How does the common-law system solve the above hypothesis? Can a person be held responsible for civil reparations in this system? Could you point me to a law or to some articles or books or anything to help me through this?

I'm finding nothing and I'm so desperate that I even went for references on wikipedia:P

Thanks in advance,
matt

A growing array of research demonstrates that legal services for disadvantaged populations contribute to the rule of law, good governance, human rights, empowerment of the poor, and poverty alleviation. Yet the development and human rights communities pay insufficient heed to a cost-effective set of tools for forging the future of legal services and legal systems across the globe: clinical legal education (CLE) and similarly oriented efforts to engage law students and young lawyers in public service. This Open Society Justice Initiative Issues Paper seeks to fill the informational vacuum that makes CLE-related work (that is, the array of both CLE and similarly oriented efforts) an underappreciated and underutilized resource.

It is essentially important for human beings to follow laws and orders without which a man can be brutal enough harm others. It can be easily mentioned that law plays a vital role in arranging the mob in a systematic manner. So, one should never fail to follow laws of any kind, concerning anything.
