Internet Consultation on New Product Liability Regulations

The government has launched an internet consultation regarding the implementation of a revised European directive on product liability. This legislation is being updated to better align with, among other things, digital products, AI systems, and circular business models.

Internet Consultation on New Product Liability Regulations
  • The revision looks into, among other things:
  • including software and AI systems within the scope of product liability
  • expanding liability to other parties in the supply chain, such as importers and distributors
  • adjusting the burden of proof rules in damage claims, to make complex cases more workable
  • potentially compensating for new types of damages, such as data loss
