La legitimación pasiva en los daños por productos defectuosos.

Abstract

The present article approaches in a critical, objective and extensive way the Royal Decree 1/2007, and particularly its third book referred to the liability of defective products. Attemps have been made in order to find answers to many issues related to this subject, highlighting the legislative form used for the introduction of this regulation and the regulation itself. It has been considered so important the analysis of different figures which can be came under the producer institution, as well as the way in which each of them responds. In addition, the need to criticize the figure of the provider (old supplier) and the treatment of his responsibility has also been worthy in this work. It should not end without a section referring to the figure of the “third party” and how it is included in the framework of liability of defective products. Everything has been carried out with an exhaustive treatment of the most outstanding doctrine and jurisprudence (both in Provincial Court level and in Supreme Court level).
