Construction Company Liability for Roof Collapse

An individual sued a construction company after a partial collapse of a roof structure that caused damage to their property, arguing that the company was strictly liable under the law governing liability for defective construction work, despite no explicit finding of fault. The Court of Cassation partially upheld the lower court's decision, confirming that liability under the relevant statute attaches to the builder for defects apparent upon delivery or manifesting within the prescriptive period, thereby holding the construction company responsible for the damages stemming from the structural failure, irrespective of proof of fault, unless an exception to this strict liability applied.
