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 :

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are true, but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
  • C.(A) is true, but (R) is false.
  • D.(A) is false, but (R) is true.

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.
