GL with AFP –
You go to a garden to cut trees. If a tree were to fall on the house, for example, justice considers your responsibility as obvious, whether it’s your job, with a salary at stake, or volunteer work, filled with kindness or friendship that you are.
The judges reject this reasoning. “Anyone who helps voluntarily concludes without knowing it with the one he helps a voluntary assistance agreement and therefore engages by contract his responsibility for any damage he could cause, whether this results from a serious fault or from simple imprudence. “, explains the Court.
Last May, in a case involving an accident that occurred during a move between friends, the Court ruled that the person liable for the damage suffered by one of the parties through the gross negligence of another was mainly the beneficiary of the aid. He must organize the aid in such a way as to guarantee the safety of the carers, his own safety and that of his property.
