Applying the Tort of Strict Liability in Product Liability Cases: The Nigerian Perspective

There is an ebb of consumer protection in Nigeria notwithstanding the existence of numerous laws and regulations governing the subject matter. Reported cases of fake and substandard products, adulteration, underweight, defects and the presence of foreign particles in products abound, with little or nothing being done about it.This book provides a clear exposition of the attitude of the Nigeria courts in product liability cases. It pays particular attention to the applicability of the tort of strict liability in such cases while drawing insights from select jurisdictions. The chapters are inexplicably detailed to allow readers to understand the message and apply them effectively.
