المسؤولية الجزائية للشركات التجارية عن منتجاتها المعيبة كآلية لحماية المستهلك

Abstract EN

The legislator seeks to regulate the behavior of persons in society to prevent conflicts of interest, avoid imbalances in relations, and sanction the violation of these provisions.

Among the most important areas that require legislative intervention are those related to consumer protection against the dangers of defective products, In the contract and the inability of the traditional rules to provide the protection required for him, which led most legislation to devote protection and the development of mechanisms and bodies accompany the legislator to cover this task, especially after the entry of businesses in the world of production.

Among these mechanisms is the criminal liability of these companies for their defective products.

However, the practical aspect has shown that many criminal prosecutions and penalties resulting from violations committed by legitimate representatives of companies and their agencies are applied to them only without the moral persons who committed the crimes in their name and account, from the source.

These criminal prosecutions and penalties are not applied to these natural persons as representatives of companies but as ordinary persons, although the legislator has introduced the case law of commercial companies with some of them assigned to representatives of commercial companies.
