Summary

"This volume examines the development of product liability law in the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland. A specific emphasis is placed on the context in which Central European product liability systems evolved; on changing social and economic conditions, consumer policies, and European integration, particularly the implementation of the Product Liability Directive." "Using Product Liability Law, the study offers a valuable insight into the necessary features and requirements of the harmonisation of laws between the EU and Post-socialist Europe. Predominantly legal in scope, this study also takes account of the importance of extralegal elements in law reform. As such, it will be a valuable resource for those interested in European Law as well as those working in the area of Consumer and Product Liability law."--BOOK JACKET.
