Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Privity refers to the legal relationship between parties that have entered into a contract or agreement. However, strict liability is a tort doctrine, which means that it does not require a contractual relationship between the parties involved. Therefore, even bystanders who are not in privity with the defendant can recover damages under strict liability in most jurisdictions.
