A dispute arose concerning the liability of a construction contractor following the discovery of significant defects in a completed work, where the work's owner sought damages alleging failure to meet contractual obligations regarding durability and conformity. The court rejected the appeal, upholding the lower court's finding that the contractor was liable under the ten-year warranty (garantie décennale) for latent structural defects that compromised the stability and habitability of the structure, as the owner had timely notified the contractor and the defects were attributable to faults in the execution of the work or the materials supplied.
