Ensuring safety in Yemeni Law (Comparative Study)

Abstract

The Yemeni legislator sought to establish legal rules that guarantee consumer safety from damage to products that have become a threat to his physical and material safety. These rules were represented in preventive legal rules by approving several obligations on the supplier, and therapeutic legal rules that represented the responsibility of everyone who exceeds the safety requirements. The desired goal of this is to achieve the legitimate desire that the consumer expects and enable him to benefit from the products and services offered in the market in a safe manner that guarantees him not harming his safety and material benefits ,  on the other hand, rebalancing between the parties to the consumer relationship, that is, the provider with economic influence, as it has the means and technical expertise that the consumer lacks, but The practical reality proved that at many times it is difficult for the consumer (the creditor) to prove the existence of the contractual relationship on which it is based as a basis for requesting compensation for damage based on the rules of civil liability (contractual, tort), so it was necessary for the legislator to expand the scope of liability so that there is a basis for compensation for damage, based on the objective liability of the debtor (producer of the commodity, service provider), which is unless the Yemeni legislator takes it.
