Substanzverletzung und Herstellung

Beate Gsell examines the protection given under tort law from damage to objects during the manufacturing process. She examines the basis for and the scope of the manufacturer's liability which are defined in section 823, sub-section 1 of the German Civil Code. These apply not only to the damage which has spread to the defect-free portion of purchased property from a defective part but also to cases of the wasting of materials when manufacturing defective products.
