liability created by statute<\/span>:<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

1.A liability created by a statute which discloses an intention, express or implied, that from disregard of the statutory command, a liability for damages wlil arise which would not exist bur for the statute. Schmidt v Merchants Despatch Tramp<\/em>. Co. 270 NY 287, 200 NE 824, 104 ALR 450, reh den 271 NY 531, 2 NE2d 680<\/span>.
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A liability which would not exist but for the statute.\u00a0 <\/span><\/strong>See<\/span> Fidelity & Deposit Co. v Lindholm<\/em> (CA9 Cal) 66 F2d 56, 89 ALR 279<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A liability that comes into being solely by statute and has no existence prior to the enactment creating it. Steel v National Surety Corp<\/em>. 74 Ariz 193, 245 P2d 960, 32 ALR2d 1236<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

A cause of action<\/a> recognized for centuries by the common law<\/a> cannot be regarded as a “liability created by statute” within the meaning of a statute of limitations<\/a>. Fratt v Robinson<\/em> (CA9 Wash) 203 F2d 627, 37 ALR2d 636<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

When the statute merely defines, in the interest of the general public, the degree of care which shall be exercised under certain specified circumstances, it does not “create” a new liability<\/a>, but merely changes the standard which must be applied in an action to recover damages caused by lack of care. 35 Am J1st M & S \u00a7 467<\/span>.<\/strong> [1]<\/span><\/p>\n

1. A liability<\/a><\/strong> created by statute, as opposed to one created by contract; a liability that would not exist except for the statute creating it.\u00a0<\/strong>[1]<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
