| Research Abstract |
This study has two objects. One is to describe the essence of the Japanese case law of product liability and the other is to make a proporsal of the new legislation of product liability. This year, I intended to make the result of my reserch public concerning the above two.
With regard to the first object, I have accomplished the restatement of the Japanese product liability case law, and submit the copy with this report. This restatement will be published in a form of a monography this coming summer.
Regard with the second object, I made "A Legisralative Proporsal : Product Liability Act" public with detailed comments in the New Business Law Journal from 519 issue to 532 (13 times). This proporsal contains compensation Law, special civil procedure rules, an administrative relief scheme and special insurance rules. Comparing with product liability laws in many countries, I, by myself, believe that this proporsal is very unique and advanced.
