Consumer Protection and Civil Liability for Defective Product or Service

Authors

Abstract

In order to provide adequate protection to consumers in the face of harm caused by defective products or services in Chilean law, the paper argues the need for specific regulation on civil liability ensuing from such harm; and proposes a broad interpretation of the notions of consumer and provider and, subsequently, of title to sue; as well as a pro-consumer application of the rules on liability basis.
