Product Liability Terms

 


Today's Terms

Civil Liability

Definition:
In a civil lawsuit, if a party is found to be at fault, that party is liable. This is equivalent to a guilty verdict in the criminal system, except that civil liability usually means that the party at fault pays money damages to the other party, whereas the guilty party in a criminal suit may have to go to prison.

Warranties

Definition:
Fitness and merchantability The two most important warranties created by U.C.C. Article 2 are the warranty of merchantability (2-314) and the warranty of fitness for a particular purpose (2-315). The warranty of merchantability is a promise that the goods are fit for the ordinary purpose for which goods of that type are used.

BREACH OF WARRANTY

Definition:
If these warranties are breached (if the promises are broken or if the defendants have misrepresented something), then you may claim the theory of Breach of Warranty.
