Owner Liability for Fire Damage Without Proof of Negligence

A dispute arose regarding the liability of an owner for damages caused by a fire originating on their property, where the claimant asserted that the owner had failed to maintain required safety measures, specifically concerning the storage of flammable materials near an electrical installation. The court dismissed the appeal, affirming that liability under the relevant civil code provisions for damages caused by things under one's care does not require proof of fault or negligence, as the owner's responsibility is established by the mere fact of the thing causing the damage, unless the owner can prove an external, unforeseeable, and irresistible cause, which was not established in this case.
