Which one of the following did not emerge from the case of Donoghue v. Stevenson?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Donoghue v Stevenson (1932) held that a manufacturer owes the ultimate consumer a duty to take reasonable care that the product is safe, that no contract between them is needed, and Lord Atkin's neighbour principle became the general test for a duty of care.

The case did not decide that "Manufacturers have to pay damages to consumers whenever damage is caused by the products". Liability still depends on proof of a duty, a breach of reasonable care and resulting damage.
