Abstract

On 26 May 1932, the House of Lords decided a case that has been defined not only as "revolutionary" and "[the] single most important decision in the history of the law of torts", but even as the "most important decision in all the common law". Of course, one refers to the so called "Snail Case" or "Snail in the Ginger Beer Case", i.e., to Donoghue v. Stevenson which has not only influenced English product liability law but (above all) the English law of torts.
