Title

India's Consumer Protection Bill 2015: Redefining notions of liability

Creator

Description

The legislative validation of the concepts of product liability and unfair contractual terms through the Consumer Protection Bill (CPB) paves the way for attuning Indian consumer laws with the global wavelength. Though the Indian judiciary has dealt with issues concerning product liability and unfair contractual terms, legal certainty has remained elusive, necessitating predictability. The extension of consumer protection to the domain of e-commerce further reformulates the existing notion of liability and the prevalent impunity. This paper analyses the manner in which the CPB redefines the notions of liability and the existent lacunae that need to be remedied. The Author 2017. Published by Oxford University Press.
