Odgovornost prodavca za materijalne nedostatke stvari - pregled i reklamacija robe

Abstract

Pitanje kontrole kvaliteta i reklamacije je u svakodnevnoj poslovnoj praksi interesantno, kako iz ugla međunarodnog privatnog prava, tako i iz ugla merodavnog materijalnog prava. Mi ćemo se stoga ukratko osvrnuti na međunarodno privatno pravnu problematiku, da bismo se zatim bliže i detaljnije posvetili rešenjima predviđenim u materijalnom jugoslovenskom pravu, uključujući i međunarodne izvore prava. Pri tome ćemo posebnu pažnju dati i teorijskim pitanjima vezanim za pravnu prirodu kontrole i reklamacije kvaliteta i predložiti neka nova terminološka rešenja.

This paper gives, in the first place, an analysis of private international law aspects of the problem of inspection of goods and complaints for possible product liability. After that, by making use of a comparative law analysis, the author ascertains that the necessity for inspection of goods by the buyer and making of possible objections regarding the quality of goods is not to be considered as a duty (Pflicht) of the buyer, but as a specific category of civil law termed Obliegenheit. As the terms used by the authors in this country are descriptive (duty in one's own interest, etc) the author proposes a new term - necessity. In our substantive law this question has been regulated by the Vienna Convention (within the field of its enforcement), by the Obligations Act, as well as by other provisions referred to by this Act. In the last part of this paper the author analyses in more detail the solutions provided by these legal sources.
