Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe court affirmed the lower court's finding of liability regarding damage to optical cables caused by a directional drilling operation. While the appellants and the defendant were both found responsible, the judgment was modified to require each party to pay half of the awarded damages and interest, rather than one party bearing full responsibility. This adjustment reflects the court's assessment of the specific circumstances and the allocation of fault between the drilling contractor and the cable owner.
