Practice question
A consumer suffers injury from a service lacking safety rightfully expected in the stated circumstances. Defect and causal damage are proved. Supplier relies only on careful employee selection, and proves neither absence of defect nor sole consumer or third-party fault. Which is best?
- Careful selection alone does not defeat Article 99’s independent-of-fault liability.
- Selection diligence necessarily eliminates the service defect.
- Consumer injury always requires intentional misconduct.
- A supplier is liable only after a criminal conviction.
- Article 99 addresses only animal possession.
