Property Owner Not Liable for Scaffold Collapse After Transfer of Custody

A claimant, alleging injury from the collapse of scaffolding that they had agreed to dismantle in exchange for keeping the materials, sued the property owner for damages, asserting that the owner retained custody and responsibility for the structure's safety. The court rejected the appeal, finding that once the materials were ceded to the dismantler, the owner relinquished custody and control over the scaffolding, thereby extinguishing any liability for its subsequent collapse, as the arrangement effectively transferred the responsibility for the structure's condition to the party undertaking the dismantling work.
