Liability for Damage: Help with Your Legal Questions
Questioner
Hello, I have a question about liability for damage. I have a caravan at a holiday park. The owner is responsible for its maintenance. I've asked him several times to remove the tree near the caravan, but he hasn't. Now the tree has fallen on the caravan. Can I claim tort/delict or breach of contract?Questioner
You can hold him liable for tort. Please provide sufficient evidence to support your liability. The landlord will then have to prove otherwise. If you cannot reach an agreement and a legal dispute arises, please contact me immediately for consultation.Questioner
The legal basis will also be, or primarily, breach of contract due to a defect in the leased property, because the owner is responsible for maintaining the communal park. Recron conditions may also apply in addition to the regulations. Whether it was necessary to remove the entire tree or otherwise shorten it must be proven by you. This can be done by any means, including witnesses, photos, and, of course, the reminders you sent. How extensive are the damages? I can try to recover them for you.Take the next step
