Synthèse Legislator

Généré par l'IA

A lower court erred in holding a construction company liable for damages resulting from the collapse of a retaining wall, which occurred shortly after the completion of adjacent construction work, solely because the damage happened soon after the work; the appellate court failed to establish the necessary causal link between the construction activities and the collapse, thereby violating the principle that liability for fault requires proof of a connection between the fault committed and the damage sustained.
