Modern trends in products liability

This dissertation examines the most important developments and modern trends in the
products liability law of the United States, the European Union, Australia and New
Zealand. The United States has influenced international products liability forever. The
European Union followed the United States, but learned from their mistakes. The lessons
are reflected in the European Directive. In turm, Australia followed the European
Directive but its close neighbour, New Zealand, managed to address products liability in
their own unique way.
In contrast, South African products liability law has not seen much development recently.
Good guidelines can however be found from comparative law for the future development
of products liability law in South Africa. In the conclusion of this dissertation,
consideration will be given to the necessity of South Africa following the modern
international trends in products liability. / Jurisprudence / LL. M. (Comparative Law)
