Amalan caveat emptor yang menyerahkan sepenuhnya tanggungjawab kepada pembeli agar berhati-hati ketika melakukan transaksi merupakan satu doktrin yang telah diperkenalkan oleh common law sejak abad ke-13 lagi. Menerusi amalan ini, pihak penjual tidak bertanggungjawab untuk mendedahkan segala maklumat yang diketahuinya kepada pembeli. Di Malaysia, doktrin ini tidak jelas dalam mana-mana peruntukan undang-undang. Oleh itu, kajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pemakaian doktrin caveat emptor ini dalam Akta Kontrak 1950. Selain itu, kajian ini juga melihat pandangan perundangan Islam berkaitan dengan amalan doktrin ini. Reka bentuk kajian bersifat kualitatif dengan menggunakan pendekatan analisis dokumen. Data dianalisis secara analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati terdapat beberapa peruntukan dalam Akta Kontrak 1950 yang mengamalkan doktrin caveat emptor, walaupun tidak diperuntukkan secara jelas dalam akta tersebut. Berdasarkan perundangan Islam pula, doktrin ini tidak sesuai dilaksanakan kerana bertentangan dengan prinsip yang terdapat dalam perundangan Islam. Oleh yang demikian, kajian mencadangkan agar pindaan dibuat terhadap peruntukan berkaitan dengan amalan caveat emptor yang terdapat dalam Akta Kontrak 1950.

Since a long time ago, consumers have never been completely safe from exposure to the risk of purchasing defective products, which may cause an adverse effect on them. The introduction of the doctrines of caveat emptor and caveat venditor became a part of the common law to resolve disputes between manufacturers, sellers, and consumers. This study therefore aims to analyze the application of the caveat emptor and caveat venditor doctrines according to civil and Islamic perspectives to see how far the application of both doctrines can provide justice to consumers. Utilizing doctrinal approach based on the methodology of qualitative legal research, this study involves in-depth analysis of statutory provisions, court cases, Quranic texts, hadiths, and the opinions of Muslim scholars. The research findings were analyzed through content analysis and critical analysis methods. This study has proven that there are legal problems with regards to the application of the caveat emptor doctrine and its resulting negative impact on consumers, thus leading to the formation of the caveat venditor doctrine. Although the term “caveat venditor” and its definition are not expressly mentioned in the Qur’an and the hadiths, the application of the doctrine is seen to have a strong foundation in Islam. The results of this study are expected to contribute significant new knowledge in the field of consumer law since a comparative analysis of the application of both doctrines according to civil and Islamic perspectives is still lacking, especially in cases involving the selling of defective products.
