A dispute arose concerning the responsibility for damages caused by a fire that began in one building and spread to an adjacent one, where the owner of the damaged property sued the owner of the building where the fire originated, alleging fault in maintenance. The court of appeal had found the defendant liable based on the factual finding that the fire originated from a latent defect in the electrical wiring within the defendant's premises, a defect the defendant was presumed to know about or should have discovered through due diligence, thus affirming the trial court's ruling establishing liability for the resulting property damage.
