Employers' liability act of 1880

The Employers' Liability Act of 1880 was an act passed on 7 September 1880 by the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It enabled workers to seek compensation for injuries resulting from the negligence of a fellow employee.
==Background==
Prior to the passing of the Employers' Liability Act, it was impossible for a worker to hold his employer responsible for injuries caused by his foreman or another worker's negligence. This was because the standard line of thought on the matter at the time was expressed by the doctrine of Common Employment, which stated that “if the person occasioning and the person suffering the injury are fellow workmen, engaged in a common employment, the employer is not responsible.”This doctrine of Common Employment was first established in the 1837 ''Priestly v. Fowler'' decision Another legal principle at the time, supposedly dating back to the origin of English Common Law that “a personal action dies with the person entitled to maintain it,” (Actio personalis moritur cum persona) meant that the family members of a deceased worker could not claim compensation.
Several workmen's associations wished to see the doctrine of Common Employment repealed, as they felt ''Priestley v Fowler'' ushered in an unfair and damaging interpretation of the law.In response, Parliament formed a committee to consider evidence on the subject in 1877, and after numerous drafts and revisions, the Employers' Liability Act of 1880 was passed on 7 September.It is probable that the bill was passed as much out of a desire to correct inconsistencies with the fact that employers were responsible for any injuries to strangers caused by those in their employ.
