Discussion Topics

Discussion 1

Discuss the British and American approaches to litigation. How do they compare to your country's approaches. Which is ‘best'? What do you mean by ‘best'?

Discussion 2

Consider the hypothetical accident in the section ‘Responsibility for safety critical systems'. What do you think? Write down each of the people who might be responsible for the accident and write down at least one reason why that person is responsible and at least one reason why that person is not responsible? Against who can you place the most, or most compelling arguments that they should be held responsible?

You can find some points about this discussion at the end of the chapter.
