Editing Product liability (section)

==Applicable law==
The law that needs to be applied in product liability cases is governed by the [[Convention on the Law Applicable to Products Liability]] of 1971 for the 11 countries that are party to it.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.hcch.net/en/instruments/conventions/status-table/?cid=84|title=Status Table, 22: Convention of 2 October 1973 on the Law Applicable to Products Liability|work=HCCH|access-date=10 February 2020}}</ref> The country where the damage occurred determines the applicable law, if that country is also the residence of the person suffering damage, the principal place of business of the person held liable or the place where the product was bought. If that is not the case, the law of the country of residence is used, provided the product was bought there, or it was the principal place of business of the person held liable.
