Anti-Hacking White Papers

The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund: Overview and Comment

Overview The 9/11 Victim Compensation Fund, and the statutory bail-out scheme to which it is married, constitutes unique legislation addressing unprecedented crimes by foreign enemies on United States soil. Like many other observers all along the political spectrum, conservatives regard it with mixed reactions-legal, moral and economic. On one hand, conservatives are apprehensive about ATSA's constitutionally-dubious, retroactive limitation on private common law rights of action for tort damages- particularly the rights of countless 9/11 victims who cannot qualify for Fund awards. On the other hand, conservatives generally prefer that tort liability be predicated on actual fault, and they wonder whether any contributory negligence by the airlines could justly warrant liability for damages that were primarily caused by the terrorists' own criminality.
