Abstract
Abstract This chapter examines the relationship between corrective and distributive justice. It finds that there is no straightforward generalization to be made about the priority or independence of the two spheres of justice. In some respects, corrective justice has priority, in others distributive justice has priority, and in others there is parity. This mixed picture should bring no comfort to tort apologists. Although corrective duties are not reducible to deviations from distributive justice or always overridden by them, interference effects between the two spheres present systemic problems for justifying the practice of corrective justice in an unjust world.
