The notion of contract would be meaningless if it were not flanked by a notion of compensation for loss involuntarily sustained. Contracts are aimed at a voluntary change in relationships. That presupposes, however, a regime for the protection of the status quo against involuntary changes. The law on non-contractual liability for damage caused to another is thus directed at reinstating the person suffering such damage in the position that person would have been in had the damage not occurred.1. It does not seek to punish anybody, neither does it aspire to enrich the injured party. Nor does it aim at a social redistribution of wealth or at integrating an individual in a community founded on the principle of social solidarity. Rather it is aimed at protection.
