This book provides an overview of products liability law, organizing and explaining the essential history, developments, policies, and tensions of this field of law succinctly yet comprehensively. An abridgment of Professor Owen’s acclaimed hornbook treatise, this short work examines classic and recent case and other developments in products liability law, including theories of liability; definitions and proof of product defects; standards for expert testimony; the assault on strict liability by the state-of-the-art doctrine; federal preemption and other defenses; and the Restatement of the Law of Torts, Third: Products Liability.

The Bermuda Form catastrophe insurance policy covers liabilities for exposure to catastrophes such as serious explosions or mass tort litigation. It includes a clause requiring disputes to be arbitrated under English procedural rules in London but, very unusually, subject to New York substantive law. This calls for an unusual mix of knowledge and experience on the part of the lawyers involved, each of whom will also be required to confront the many differences between English and US legal culture. A related feature of the Form is that the awards of arbitrators are confidential and not subject to the scrutiny of the courts. Therefore, while many lawyers have been involved in litigating on the Bermuda Form their knowledge remains locked away. Thus, despite its considerable importance, the Bermuda Form is not well understood, a situation not helped by the lack of publications dealing with it. Accordingly, those required to deal with the Form professionally are confronted with a lengthy and complex document, but with very little to aid their understanding of it. This unique and comprehensive work offers a detailed commentary on how the Form is to be construed, its coverage, the substantive law to be applied, the limits of liability, exceptions, and, of course, the procedures to be followed during arbitration proceedings in London.˜˜˜˜

Products liability law is often confusing because it is in a state of constant flux as it confronts a number of challenges. Some such challenges are well known, such as the battle over the comparative merits of the Second and Third Restatements of Torts. Other, equally important challenges have, however, been overlooked by other texts, such as the growing use of bankruptcy protection laws to limit the consequences of supplying defective products (as in the recent bailout-supported cases of General Motors and Chrysler), and this book sets out to rectify such omissions.While other books leave the reader to sink or swim in a swamp of apparently contradictory doctrine, Products Liability Law: Cases, Commentary, and Conundra lays out from the beginning the five elements common to all products liability claims. It then builds on this foundation by tackling each new area of the law in a lucid and reader-friendly manner, while explaining how each doctrine relates to the politico-economic and historical context in which the law operates.Supplementing the text with numerous original flowcharts, tables, and other diagrams — as well as asking thoughtful questions along the way — this book charts a careful and comprehensible course through the often tempestuous battleground of products liability law.

Products Liability - A Managerial Approach is a specially created text and case book meant for the advanced undergraduate student of business and for the MBA student involved in any way in the business of creating, selling, or financing products or in managing these activities. The authors have developed a unique text that combines knowledge gained from many functional areas of business—most notably marketing, management, finance, and business law—and places this knowledge in the context of modern products liability law and theory. The chapters are arranged so that the student will think about products liability from both a theoretical and practical basis. Coverage begins with a discussion of the nature of product defects in the manufacturing, design and marketing of products. The discussion then moves to negligence, breach of warranty, fraud, and the core theories of liability, all leading to the creation of a modern theory of products liability, strict liability in tort. It then concludes by discussing the scope of liability in product cases, defenses available in product cases, and theories of damages in product cases. As a tool for managers, the text contains appendices with practical information, clear examples, and major traditional cases explaining and expanding upon the text materials. The authors have provided relevant case questions, as well as problems that will help the students process the materials in a straightforward manner. While the text contains traditional legal analysis (cases), it is meant to be a practical guide for students of business who are charged with managerial decision-making in fields that include pharmaceuticals, marketing and sales, management, finance and hospital administration. We hope that we have met our objective of proving a hands-on managerial approach to this most relevant topical area in this Second Edition of the text.

This controversial book describes the transformation of modern tort law since the 1960s, and shows how the dramatic increase in liability lawsuits has had an adverse effect on the safety, health, the cost of insurance, and individual rights.

Kenneth Abraham explores the development and interdependency of the tort liability regime and the insurance system in the United States during the twentieth century and beyond, including the events of September 11, 2001.From its beginning late in the nineteenth century, the availability of liability insurance led to the creation of new forms of liability, heavily influenced expansion of the liabilities that already existed, and continually promoted increases in the amount of money that was awarded in tort suits. A “liability-and-insurance spiral” emerged, in which the availability of liability insurance encouraged the imposition of more liability, and, in turn, the imposition of liability encouraged the further spread of insurance. Liability insurance was not merely a source of funding for ever-greater amounts of tort liability. Liability insurers came to dominate tort litigation. They defended lawsuits against their policyholders, and they decided which cases to settle, fight, or appeal. The very idea behind insurance––that spreading losses among large numbers of policyholders is desirable––came to influence the ideology of tort law. To serve the aim of loss spreading, liability had to expand. Today the tort liability and insurance systems constantly interact, and to reform one the role of the other must be fully understood.

The bestselling author of Portfolio Construction and Risk Budgeting brings you the first book of its kind to provide a detailed insight into the interplay between liability calculations, the use of derivatives (including the highly innovative market in inflation derivatives), accounting rules and corporate finance. Liability Hedging and Portfolio Choice provides you with a unique market value/corporate finance approach, instead of the outdated accounting/actuarial framework. After all, the actuarial approach has been the main cause for the recent pension crisis and is inconsistent with modern asset pricing and valuation theory. The book brings you expert guidance on the following topics: - Valuation of pension liabilities - Internal versus external funding - Liability hedging (interest rate risk and inflation risk) - Portfolio choice and liability relative investing - Theory of the firm versus portfolio theory Furthermore, the book argues that the correct approach to view pension liabilities is from a treasury / risk management perspective rather than formulating it as a variation of surplus optimisation. Pension liabilities are essential one way of (more or less complex) structured borrowing from employees and hence very close in concept to issuing corporate bonds to employees. Accepting this demands a complete rethink in terms of valuation, hedging and stakeholder claims. The book offers an integrated corporate finance / risk management approach that is fully consistent with corporate decision making. What’s more it provides invaluable guidance on the use of derivatives, including inflation derivatives, to hedge liabilities. Highly accessible and packed with all new research the book is ideal for derivatives desks, pension funds, trustees, asset management firms, academia or anyone with an interest in derivatives or pension economics.

This groundbreaking book recognizes the devastating effect product liability lawsuits can have on corporations worldwide, and the necessity for organizations to understand all the elements of product liability prevention. Taking a proactive approach to describing how to put this type of quality program in place, Randall L. Goodden (known worldwide as a leading expert in the field of Quality and Product Liability Prevention) demonstrates how any organization, even with its own non-legal staff, can join the fight against potential product liability actions, and win! Once this type of quality program is initiated, the company will have not only gained a whole new level of awareness and education, but it will also have product liability teams and experts in place who will help the company steer clear of any potential future problems. This new dimension of quality will lead to substantial improvements in many areas of any organization, significantly protect organizations from legal action, and help improve their bottom line.

With an ever-increasing number of liability lawsuits, are corporations electing to play it safe rather than risk the uncertainties accompanying innovation? In The Liability Maze experts address the issues surrounding safety and innovation and present the most detailed and comprehensive study to date on the actual impact of U.S. liability law. In recent decades it has been widely assumed that liability laws promote safety by significantly raising the price companies must pay for negligence, product defects and accidents. More recently, others have suggested that the broad and unpredictable sweep of these laws actually deters innovation. The risks of lawsuits are so great that corporations are showing more caution in product innovation than ever before. The contributors focus on five sectors of the economy where the liability system appears to have had the greatest effects, positive or negative: the private aircraft, automobile, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries, and the medical profession. They suggest that in many sectors liability law has hampered innovation. In others it has stimulated safety improvements, although perhaps not so much as vigilant safety regulations.
