Deliberate act of third person ... If a defendant can prove that the escape in question was caused by a third person's "conscious act of volition", he will be exempted from strict liability. The onus is clearly on the defendant to establish this. It is not enough that a third person unleash the force that causes the damage; it must be done deliberately. 1, record 2, English, - deliberate%20act%20of%20third%20person

Acte délibéré d’un tiers [...] Si un défendeur peut établir que la fuite a été causée par un «acte volontaire et conscient» d’un tiers, il ne sera pas assujetti à la responsabilité stricte. Il incombe évidemment au défendeur d’en faire la preuve. Il ne suffit pas qu'un tiers libère la force qui cause le dommage; cela doit être fait de façon délibérée. 1, record 2, French, - acte%20d%C3%A9lib%C3%A9r%C3%A9%20d%26rsquo%3Bun%20tiers
