Sharma pushed the law of negligence to its structural boundary. When eight Australian children sought to hold the Minister for the Environment liable for approving a coal mine extension, they exposed a more fundamental problem than a missing duty of care. This essay examines how the doctrinal limits identified in Sharma reflect fundamental structural limits on negligence, why philosophical accounts of corrective justice and non-identity confirm those limits are principled rather than contingent, and what follows for the case for statutory reform.
