Description:
The paper surveys statutory liability regimes related to
Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Several nations have
recognized the uniqueness of GMOs and the potential inability
of traditional civil liability regimes to deal with this
unique technology. Consequently, multiple national statutory
instruments have been created to address GMO-related liability
and redress. The paper presents eight recommendations that
would allow Canadian policy to meet the new and complex
legal challenges related to GMOs.
