(Part Five: The Code of Obligations)

¹ Own­ers of stables are li­able for any dam­age, de­struc­tion or mis­ap­pro­pri­ation of an­im­als, vehicles and their ap­pur­ten­ances en­trus­ted to or oth­er­wise re­ceived by them or by their staff un­less they can prove that such dam­age is at­trib­ut­able to the bail­or or his vis­it­ors, com­pan­ions or staff or to force ma­jeure or to the nature of the an­im­als or ob­jects de­pos­ited.

² However, li­ab­il­ity for an­im­als, vehicles and ap­pur­ten­ances ac­com­mod­ated in stables is sub­ject to a max­im­um of 1,000 francs for each bail­or where no fault can be ascribed to the stable own­er or his staff.
