This leads to another question - if a 3rd party car mechanic is working on your car, is it your responsibility to tell him/her what the wheel nut torque should be?
Or put another way, can a mechanic deny or reject responsibility for a road wheel falling off because I as the owner of the car have not told them what the torque should be?

So long as the legal system (ours, perhaps yours) allows anyone capable of paying the fees to file a lawsuit. you'll get as many answers as there are suits. Logic plays no part in it unless you have precedents already established.
Common sense would dictate prudence on the part of both the mechanic and the owner.
