※ 引述《istj (Kat's BF)》之铭言： : 您是在讲 torts 的 joint and several liability 吗? : 如果是的话那这跟美国的定义不一样 : Def: All defendants are joined together (joint liability) : and each defendant is liable for the entire recovery (several liability) : 这并没有说受害者可以拿到数倍的赔偿, : 只有说他可以向任何一个defendant要求全部的损失 : 这是为了避免defendant 诿过给其他的defendant, 进而逃避liability ... When Several parties cause harm to someone, a question arises concerning who the victim can sue and how damages should be allocated among them. To illustrate, suppose that you suffer a loss of $100 in an accident caused by two people called A and B. They are *jointly* liable if you can sue *both* of them at once, naming A and B as co-defendants and receiving a judgment of $100 against them. They are *severally* liable if you can sue *either* A or B separately, naming them each of them as a defendant in a distinct trial. If A and B are severally liable and you can recover $100 from each of them, your total recovery will equal 200% of the actual harm( double compensation). (Cooter and Ulen, Law and Economics, 3rd edition, p.339-340) 当然 Cooter 与 Ulen 不是学法律的，不过我应该没有读错吧？ --
