Who can bring an action for compensation? What type of loss may be compensated?
anyone to claim for personal injury or damage to private property (including land or buildings) arising as a result of the defect in the product. Dependants of a person injured or killed by a defect in goods can also claim for the losses they suffer as a result. Damage to commercial property is not covered nor is any loss arising from a business relationship, such as loss of profits. The TPA also excludes losses in respect of which a claim might be made for workers compensation and losses regulated by international agreements.
