Product Liability

The specialized book "Product Liability" by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing offers a comprehensive analysis of product liability law from a comparative perspective, particularly concerning Anglophone Cameroon and South Africa. It begins with an introduction to the concept of product liability and highlights the contractual and tortious foundations of liability. The book traces the development of the no-fault liability regime and its application in various legal systems. The initial chapters address product liability in the English-speaking region of Cameroon, where negligence serves as the primary basis for liability. The second chapter examines product liability in South Africa, where negligence also prevails, but new legislation came into effect on April 1, 2011, introducing a no-fault liability regime. The third chapter is dedicated to a critical analysis of this liability regime under Law 68 of 2008.
