Strict liability is a legal doctrine that holds a party responsible for their actions or products without the need to prove negligence or fault. This means that a defendant can be held liable for damages or injuries caused by their activities or products, regardless of the precautions they took to prevent harm. Strict liability is often applied in cases involving defective products, hazardous activities, or environmental damage. The principle aims to promote safety and accountability, ensuring that those engaging in potentially dangerous activities take necessary precautions.

The distinction between strict and absolute liability can be seen by examining the issue of causation.For strict liability offenses no evidence of intent or any other mens rea is required. It is however normal for the prosecution to be required to prove causation. For example, in speeding it is necessary to prove the defendant was "driving", but not that he intended to drive faster than permitted, or even that he knew he was doing so.Just like strict liability, absolute liability offences do not require evidence of intent or mens rea. As for causation, the prosecution only has to prove that the proscribed event occurred or situation existed, then the defendant will be liable because of his status.So, in the EMPRESS CAR CASE the company was liable for the pollution of the river even though the diesel tap was turned on by an unknown stranger

It's crucial for organizations to maintain strict control over who has check-signing authority to prevent fraud.
