Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA lower court incorrectly held a vendor liable for damages arising from the collapse of a scaffolding erected by the purchaser for the execution of work on the property, despite a contractual clause relieving the vendor of responsibility, because the court failed to establish that the collapse was due to a vice inherent in the ground sold or the building itself, rather than defects in the scaffolding, which was the purchaser's responsibility, meaning the lower court's finding lacked the necessary legal basis to override the contractual stipulations regarding liability for construction defects.
