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
absolute liability
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.
Vicarious liability is a form of a strict, secondary liability that arises under the common law doctrine of agency, respondeat superior, the responsibility of the superior for the acts of their subordinate or, in a broader sense, the responsibility of any third party that had the "right, ability or duty to control" the activities of a violator. It can be distinguished from contributory liability, another form of secondary liability, which is rooted in the tort theory of enterprise liability because, unlike contributory infringement, knowledge is not an element of vicarious liability

For analysis of the pros and cons of strict liability as applied to product liability, the most important strict liability regime,
Strict liability is a form of civil liability, similar to negligence. The main difference between strict liability and tortious liability is that you can be held liable for any harm resulting from certain activities without any fault, simply because the activity falls within the classification of strict liability. Most states have adopted strict liability in some form, and activities that qualify fall into two general categories.
