Road Traffic Liability for Collision Damages

A plaintiff sued for damages after a vehicle, driven by the defendant who had a valid license, collided with the plaintiff's parked car, causing damage that the defendant refused to compensate for, arguing the collision was due to an unforeseeable external event. The Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, affirming that under the law concerning road traffic liabilities, the owner and driver of a vehicle are liable for damages caused by the vehicle unless they can prove the accident resulted from an irresistible and unforeseeable external event, which the defendant failed to establish, thus justifying the lower court's finding of liability despite the driver's possession of a license.
