Some argue that the Rylands v Fletcher rule should remain as a separate tort liability because it holds strict liability for certain activities that cause harm, regardless of fault. This can encourage greater care and precaution by those engaging in inherently risky activities. However, others argue that its principles can be incorporated into existing tort laws, such as negligence, making a separate tort liability unnecessary.
