Should successor liability only apply in product liability cases?


Should successor liability only apply in product liability cases?

I can't think of a place it applies other than product liabilty.

No. It should also apply in contract, or intentional tort cases.

Whether it applies in negligence cases is debatable -- there are strong arguments in either direction.

I think it should always apply. When you take over something, you assume its assets and liabilities.
