483 So. 2d 1004; 1986 La. LEXIS 8169 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Fonseca v. Marlin Marine Corp.

Concurring Opinion

DENNIS, Justice,

concurring.

I respectfully concur.

The dangerous arrangement of boards as a walking surface was a defect for purposes of article 2317 and a vice or neglect to repair for purposes of article 2322. That a part of the building is or is not intended by the owner to be a permanent component of the building does not exonerate the owner from his liability for his failure β€œto keep his buildings and its appurtenances in repair so as to avoid unreasonable risk of injury to others.” Olsen v. Shell Oil Co., 365 So.2d 1285, 1292 (La. 1978).
