Causation in Property Damage Claim Dismissed

A plaintiff sought damages from a defendant, alleging the defendant's fault in a road accident caused injuries to the plaintiff's movable property, but the trial court dismissed the claim based on insufficient evidence linking the alleged fault directly to the damages sustained. The Court of Cassation upheld the dismissal, reasoning that the lower court correctly applied the principle of direct causal link required in tort law, finding that the evidentiary submissions failed to establish with the necessary legal certainty that the defendant's conduct was the proximate cause of the specific harm claimed by the plaintiff.
