Practice question
Outside any intervention to save property from imminent danger, a manifestly unfit volunteer prevents a more competent person from managing. A fortuitous loss occurs. Does Article 2148 recognize liability despite the event’s fortuitous character?
- No, fortuity invariably ends liability
- Yes; the stated circumstances fall within its listed grounds
- Only if the owner had signed an employment contract
- Only if the volunteer became owner
- No, competence is never relevant
