Today's Terms
Civil Liability
Definition:
In a civil lawsuit, if a party is found to be at fault, that party is liable. This is equivalent to a guilty verdict in the criminal system, except that civil liability usually means that the party at fault pays money damages to the other party, whereas the guilty party in a criminal suit may have to go to prison.
BREACH OF WARRANTY
Definition:
If these warranties are breached (if the promises are broken or if the defendants have misrepresented something), then you may claim the theory of Breach of Warranty.
Product Safety Recalls
Definition:
Sometimes sale of the item is banned. A manufacturer may establish a recall program that asks consumers to return the defective item for replacement or repair.
