This isn't relevant to your point, but there was a famous British
court case in the 1930s, the snail in the ginger beer case, where
the judgment takes the line, 'Who is my neighbour?' to expand the
law of tort (Donoghue v. Stevenson,
http://www.leeds.ac.uk/law/hamlyn/donoghue.htm).
I couldn't let that pass... I think the equivalent U.S. case was
pre-WWI and had to do with Buick.
