Explanation of Article 132

This article addresses the ruling on liability for damage caused by things that require special care. It stipulates that anyone who assumes the custody of things that require special care by their nature or by statutory provisions, to prevent their harm, is responsible for any damage caused by those things, unless it is proven that the damage was due to a cause beyond their control. These things include mechanical machines, technical systems, and others, but do not include animals, buildings, or intangible objects.
