Nowadays, theories, new ideas and generally speaking information have a very important role in cultural, economic and political life of human beings. Most of the books and magazines consist of significant and broad information that they may be defective. In fact, they are goods that due to defective of ambiguous information, may be considered as defective and cause damage to their readers or users. In common law system, claims against authors and publishers for the defect of information of written works are examined on the basis of liability for the defect of goods. In our legal system, despite the existing ambiguities specifically in Consumers Protection Rights Act, applying the standards of the liability for defect of goods and acceptance of strict liability arising from the defects of written works can be an appropriate solution in solving the problems and disputes that have been occurred due to injuries caused to readers and other consumers of these works resulting from their defect. In Imamiyah jurisprudence, provoking some jurisprudential rules including ‘To whom there is benefit, there is damage to”, the liability can be imposed on authors and publishers without proving the negligence. The method of the present study is descriptive-analytic and the method of collecting materials is a library-based one.

Economic Loss is a term in common law that is used in cases of imposition of expenses on the claimant or loss of his/her expected profit and is placed against physical injury or damage to his/her tangible property. In common law, to express this kind of damage in breach of contract, the terms "reliance loss" and "expectation loss" are prevalent. In the tort law of common law, "economic loss" arising from intentional acts principally is compensable providing the establishment of some conditions, but in cases of "negligence", compensation for "economic loss" is conditional upon the claimant having suffered physical injury or physical damage to his/her tangible property of the claimant which is called Consequential Economic Loss. Otherwise, such damage is called "pure economic loss" and it is not compensated in principal. The analogous notion of "economic loss" in Iranian law which could be the basis for a comparative study is the jurisprudential term of "loss of profit". In this article, through a descriptive-analytic method, the common law notion of "economic loss" is introduced and the limitations and conditions for compensation for such damage are expressed. In addition to comparing this concept with "loss of profit", the position of Iranian laws and various jurisprudential opinions in this regard would be analyzed.
