CONTRACT-SPECIFICATION DEFENSE
contract-specification defense. An affirmative defense that immunizes a contractor from liability for a defect in a product when the contractor has manufactured or performed according to detailed contractual orders. ? The defense applies to specialized, single-use components and protects a component supplier from claims of negligent design if the component conforms to the contractual specifications ¡ª unless the specifications are obviously dangerous. Under modern notions of strict liability, courts have increasingly rejected this defense. Cf. GOV-ERNMENT-CONTRACTOR DEFENSE; GOVERNMENT-AGENCY DEFENSE.What is the Chinese interpretation of CONTRACT-SPECIFICATION DEFENSE?
