Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Allenby Spares can be held strictly liable for the faulty brake as it is part of the distribution chain. As a seller of the faulty brake, they have a duty to ensure that the product is safe for use. They may also have a claim against TurboDiezel for any losses incurred due to the faulty brake. TurboDiezel may not be held strictly liable as they are not the seller in this case, but they may have some responsibility for the faulty brake if it can be traced back to a manufacturing defect or failure to take reasonable precautions to ensure the safety of the product.
