A dispute arose regarding the liability of a building owner for damages caused to adjacent property by the collapse of a retaining wall, which the owner had failed to maintain despite warnings about its deteriorating condition; the court of appeal found the owner liable based on a finding that the collapse was due to the wall's state of disrepair and the owner's inaction, rather than an act of God or force majeure, which the highest court upheld, affirming that the owner's fault in failing to perform necessary maintenance constituted the legal basis for liability regarding the resulting property damage.
