Property service companies and other building managers are required to implement necessary safety measures to prevent objects from falling from heights and causing harm to others.Failure to do so obligates them to assume tort liability for breaching their duty of safety protection in accordance with Article 1254,Section 2 of the Civil Code.Building managers include property service providers,as well as the owners and managers of buildings.The duty of safety protection they bear differs in terms of its origin,scope of application,and the liability for breach.The duty of safety protection stipulated in Article 1254,Section 2 of the Civil Code does not have a specific-to-general relationship with the duty outlined in Article 1198 but rather shares partial overlap.In cases where harm is caused by objects falling from heights,if the specific offender is identified,they should bear the tort liability.If a building manager violates the duty of safety protection,they should bear corresponding supplementary liability in accordance or in reference to Article 1198,Section 2 of the Civil Code.If it is difficult to determine the specific offender after investigation,although compensation must be provided by the potential offending building user,the building manager who breaches the duty of safety protection must first bear the tort liability proportional to their fault.The remaining liability should then be borne by the potential offending building user for compensation.
