Description

Recent developments in product liability law are of great significance for manufacturers, distributors and consumers. Britain and the rest of the EEC have adopted a no-fault or strict liability concept, similar to that operating in the United States, so that, following the Consumer Protection Act 1987, a victim of a defective product no longer need establish negligence by the producer to succeed in a claim for compensation.
