Practice question
An unavoidable event damages Eva’s warehouse. Faye is neither at fault nor benefited by the event, and no other basis for liability is asserted. Eva invokes Article 23 solely because Faye lives nearby. Which is correct?
- Neighborhood alone establishes every element.
- The required benefit through the event is absent, so the stated Article 23 theory is not established.
- Every nearby person must share all losses equally.
- Absence of benefit is irrelevant under the article.
- Faye automatically owns the damaged warehouse.
