Product Liability: The Law and Its Implications for Risk Management - Softcover

9781854310361: Product Liability: The Law and Its Implications for Risk Management

Synopsis

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. This book sets out the current law in the UK and provides practical advice on methods of reducing the risk of marketing a defective product, of defending claims when they arise and of effective risk management.
