ANNEX B: COUNCIL DIRECTIVE 85/374/EEC OF 25 JULY 1985 ON LIABILITY FOR DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS
The following is a summary of the 1985 Directive as implemented in Part I of the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and replicated in the corresponding provisions of the Consumer Protection (Northern Ireland) Order 1987.  It is simplified in places and is not comprehensive and should not therefore be taken as a complete summary of the legislation.
