Product Liability

Product Liability explains the circumstances in which manufacturers, retailers and others may be held liable to compensate persons who are injured, or who incur financial loss, when the products which they manufacture or sell are defective or not fit for their purposes. This major new text provides comprehensive coverage of the law as it has developed in the United Kingdom and in addition contains detailed discussions of case law from other jurisdictions, including the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, France and Germany. A chapter with detailed coverage of the conflict of laws has been contributed by Professor Jonathan Harris, University of Birmingham.
