Bottomley: Solving the Looming Developer Liability Problem

> Therefore would imply the regulation reads indirectly on developers

Spot on. I like the use of the word *INDIRECTLY*. Which means the legislation does *not* apply to developers.

Sure they have to take it into account - inasmuch as they have a *contractual* relationship with the people to whom the regulation *does* apply.

NO CONTRACT? NO LIABILITY!

As the Europeans here keep saying !!!

I know in America anybody can sue anybody else for any thing. And in America, it can be a business tactic for bankrupting the competition.

But in the UK, the Court's very first question is going to be "Where is the agreement between you? I want to read it". And if that agreement says "here's a freebie, if it breaks you can keep both pieces", the Court is going to be EXTREMELY upset with the plaintiff.
