A lessee sued the lessor for damages after a fire, alleging the lessor failed to perform necessary maintenance work, which purportedly caused the fire to spread rapidly, despite the lease agreement placing the obligation for minor repairs on the lessee; the Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, reasoning that under relevant civil code articles, the lessee bears the primary burden of proving that the lessor's alleged negligence in maintaining the structure was the direct and exclusive cause of the damage, a burden which the appellate court correctly found had not been met by the evidence presented.
