Closer examination, however, reveals that unifying contract and tort under the banner of corrective justice is likely to be difficult. First, the substantive duties in tort and contract do not obviously relate to one another. For example, tort law can be plausibly seen as imposing on agents the duty to take reasonable care not to harm the persons and property of another.
Such a duty has no immediate connection to the legal obligation to perform certain voluntary agreements. To be sure, once such contractual duties exist one could think of them as the property of obligees which could be interfered
with.114 This is more or less what the law does with tortious interference with contract.115 Contract law itself, however, does not rely on notions of fault, as the tort of negligence does. Rather liability in contract is strict and limited to the person obligated under the contract rather than running to all the world.
