Describe what liability is - correct answer means legal responsibility for one's
acts or omissions. Failure of a
person or entity to meet that responsibility leaves him/her/it open to a
lawsuit for any resulting damages or a court order to perform (as in a
breach of contract or violation of statute). In order to win a lawsuit the
suing party (plaintiff) must prove the legal liability of the defendant if the
plaintiff's allegations are shown to be true. This requires evidence of the
duty to act, the failure to fulfill that duty and the connection (proximate
cause) of that failure to some injury or harm to the plaintiff. Liability also
applies to alleged criminal acts in which the defendant may be
responsible for his/her acts, which constitute a crime, thus making
him/her subject to conviction and punishment. (A Hill, 1997
