Abstract

Using the Pennyslvania [sic] legislature's recent enactment of a comparative negligence statute as a vehicle, the author asserts that the courts can and should reevaluate common law concepts as they apply to cases which, although pending at the time of a legislative change in the common law, are not subject to the basically prospective statutory provisions.
