I did read your post, you made no mention of any source.

Therefore your claim regarding 2017 is unsubstantiated.

Its not OK, clearly these countries legal systems are inferior to ours.

There should be liability without proof of fault. To require an injured person to prove fault is the gravest injustice to many innocent persons who have not the wherewithal to prove it."

Oh dear, careful who you quote.
Lord Denning isn't someone I would have chosen to lecture us regarding a "civilised system of law".
Here's part of an interview...
Interviewer: Nevertheless, were you glad to see the death penalty abolished?
Denning: Not really. It ought to be retained for murder most foul.
We shouldn't have all these campaigns to get the Birmingham Six released if they'd been hanged.
They'd have been forgotten, and the whole community would be satisfied.
Interviewer: But would justice have been satisfied if the wrong men had been hanged?
Denning: (chuckles) No. There is always that danger.
Interviewer: If they had hanged the Guildford Four they would have hanged the wrong men, wouldn't they?
Denning: No. They'd probably have hanged the right men. Not proved against them, that's all.

That's just a quick taster of the man, besides being happy to see innocent men hanged he had other horrendous opinions as well.
