An individual injured when a scaffolding collapsed due to a defect in the equipment, despite being properly assembled by the construction company's employees, sued the supplier of the scaffolding for damages, alleging a defect in the thing sold. The court overturned the lower court's decision, holding that the supplier could not be held liable for a latent defect in the equipment when the construction company's employees, who were competent and had assembled the scaffolding, had made an error in the assembly process that directly caused the collapse, thereby breaking the causal link between the alleged defect and the resulting injury.
