Product Liability | Lawyers | The Hague

Have you been harmed by a defective product? Was a product not as safe as you thought it would be? Product liability focuses on whether the safety of a product met reasonable expectations. Products can have various defects, such as a manufacturing defect or unclear instructions for use, that can lead to dangerous situations and harm.

What should you know about product liability?

A product is considered defective if it does not provide the safety that is reasonably expected. Several factors play a role in this assessment, including:

Presentation of the product - How is the product presented, including instructions and warnings?
Safety expectations - What could reasonably be expected of the product when it was marketed?
Manufacturing or instructional defects - Think of manufacturing defects or unclear instructions for use that could lead to harm.

If these issues are not addressed, the manufacturer may be held liable for the harm caused.

Checklist for filing financial statements: who? what? how? when?

Much has been written and said about the filing privilege. The Chamber of Commerce, for example, provides information about it through its website. It is not really possible to report anything new about it. However, we thought it would be useful, especially now that we are approaching the end of the year, to once again put things in compact order: who has an obligation to file, what exactly is it and what does it entail, and when must it be fulfilled. Here are the findings:

Turbo liquidation and liability director

Turbo liquidation: how does it work again? What about the creditors? Do they really have nothing to say against it and are thus powerless? Not quite, according to a recent ruling by the North Holland District Court. Under circumstances, a director is personally liable after a turbo liquidation.
