Tort law as a means of reparation for victims of automobile accidents in Alberta has recently been subject to criticism because of its many defects. The author examines both the defects and the advantages of the present system of compensation, and, concluding that it is unsatisfactory proceeds to make a proposal for reform based on the peaceful coexistence of tort law and an automobile accident compensation plan.
