A property owner sued for damages after a neighboring structure collapsed due to inadequate shoring during its demolition, arguing the neighbor was strictly liable for the damage caused by the dangerous work, but the Court of Cassation rejected the appeal, reasoning that while the principle of liability for dangerous work applies, the lower court's finding that the neighbor had taken all necessary precautions against the risks inherent in the demolition, and that the collapse was due to an unforeseen event not attributable to fault, was a sufficient legal basis to reject the claim.
