Assertion (A) : A wooden chair while being used by a guest caused injury to him due to defective manufacture. The guest is entitled to claim damages from the maker.
Reason (R) : Manufacturer owes a duty of care to the ultimate user.
Select the correct answer using the codes below :
Codes :
Answer: A
Both statements are true and the reason explains the assertion, which is option A. A manufacturer owes a duty of care to the ultimate user, as laid down in Donoghue v. Stevenson, so a guest injured by a defective chair can claim damages from the maker.
Option B denies that the duty explains the claim, and C and D call a true statement false.
This is the neighbour principle laid down by Lord Atkin.
