El riesgo de desarrollo: Un supuesto paradojico de la responsabilidad por productos (England, United States, Spanish text, Japan, New Zealand).

摘要

The work is the most comprehensive one about the so-called 'development risks', 'risks of development' or 'state-of-the-art-defense' to date; that is, the issue of damage or harmful effects caused as a consequence of product defects that, however, were impossible to be detected because of the existing state of the science and technology at a given point of time. The thesis resorts to UE, US, Japan and New Zealand laws, among others, in order to construct an universal and logical answer to all the matters connected to the subject. On the other hand, the work has been conceived as to give a full view of the subject, even to readers who are not familiar to topics such as strict liability, technological development, diffusion of human knowledge and the precautionary principle.
