Abstract

The paper describes the new Norwegian Product Liability Act. The Act follows closely EC Directive 85/374, but rejects the development risk defence. Liability is also extended to primary agricultural products. Liability for medicinal products is regulated by a special compensation scheme based on mandatory insurance for producers and importers.
