Case $7$

In both old tort law $($strict liability$)$ and modern tort law $($negligence$),$ Allan could potentially be held liable for the injuries caused by his actions. In the context of modern tort law, Allan is more likely to be held liable for the injuries caused by negligence if the elements of negligence are satisfied. The concept of strict liability in the traditional sense may not apply unless the dropping of the log is considered an abnormally dangerous activity. Ben may pursue a claim based on negligence against Allan in modern tort law.
