Donoghue v Stevenson (1932) established the legal principles of negligence and duty of care. This case examined the ruling and judicial reasoning that shaped modern tort law, emphasising consumer rights and manufacturer responsibilities.
Duty of Care for Manufacturers: The case set a precedent that manufacturers have a duty to ensure that their products are safe for consumption or use, even when there is no direct contractual relationship between the manufacturer and the consumer. This principle extended liability to producers for harm caused by their goods.
