A civil claimant sought damages from a driver who caused an accident while operating a vehicle belonging to a third party, arguing the driver was negligent in allowing the vehicle to be used; the lower court had found the driver solely liable based on fault in supervision and control, and the Court of Cassation upheld this decision, reasoning that while the owner's liability under the law regarding property damage caused by a vehicle is distinct and more restrictive, the driver, who was entrusted with the vehicle, could be held separately liable for his own negligence in causing the accident, irrespective of any potential owner liability.
