Nonetheless, the Queen's second state visit to France in 15 years was a regal affirmation of the current warm state of Anglo-French relations. As President Georges Pompidou discreetly noted in his welcoming speech, "some hesitations and difficulties of an old love affair begun in 1957" had occurred in the meantime. Later, at a banquet Her Majesty remarked: "We may drive on different sides of the road, but we are going the same way."

That system is based on the Anglo-Saxon common law of torts (wrongs), under which someone must be proved "at fault" before a court can award damages. With the accident rate increasing, the job of establishing such proof has created a huge backlog of cases in the nation's courts. More than half the suits growing out of auto accidents take two years or longer to come to trial. All too often, that leaves victims to cope in the interim as best...
